Logistics

Logistics is a key part of Alfa’s business and we understand the importance of ensuring that materials are delivered to our customers on time and safely. As such we place great emphasis on the quality of the service offered by our logistics department to ensure we reach the high standards demanded by our customers. Please see below for more information regarding Alfa’s logistics department.

Stocking policy

Alfa Chemicals holds stock of a wide range of regularly sold chemicals at its UK warehouse. The standard lead time for stock items is guaranteed delivery within 5 working days, express delivery guarantees delivery within 2 working days. Non-stock items are brought in to order; lead times vary depending on the manufacturer. To help reduce lead times for non-stock items we can arrange to hold stock of customer specific materials, provided that the demand is covered by a call-off order.

Warehousing

Alfa Chemicals has its own warehouse in Reading, Berkshire. The warehouse facility has approval for handling hazardous and restricted chemicals and has been approved by independent auditors from customers in the pharmaceutical industry.

Freight partners

Alfa Chemicals uses specialist chemical freight companies that have experience in handling hazardous materials. The partners we use have been pre-approved by our logistics and quality managers and have a long track record of working with Alfa.

Customer service

Our logistics department has a full time customer service function dedicated to monitoring the progress of customer orders to ensure any issues are dealt with as soon as possible and customers are kept fully informed of the progress of their deliveries.

DuPont Capstone comply with US EPA TSCA requirements

Update on DuPont Capstone products in relation to the US EPA 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship Program

To comply with US EPA TSCA requirements DuPont^TM Capstone^TM repellents and surfactants are replacing the DuPont Zonyl Fluorosurfactants, Penetrating Sealers, Intermediates and Repellents.

DuPont and other fluorochemical manufacturers have been working voluntarily with the US EPA 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship Program for over 5 years to reduce PFOA emissions and content in products.

DuPont^TM Capstone^TM have been evaluated under the EPA New Chemical Program and Consent Orders have been granted. This means, because DuPont^TM Capstone^TM repellents and surfactants are alternatives based on short-chain chemistry which means they can't break-down into PFOA in the environment. This will give you peace of mind when formulating with these products.

The attached letter from DuPont updates you on the latest developments: DuPont Capstone EPA update letter
