Diazene-1,2-dicarboxamide, also known as ADCA, is a chemical used mainly as a blowing agent in plastics and rubber to create foam products, like foam mats, shoe soles, and insulation. It’s also found in some adhesives and sealants. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) lists ADCA as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) under the EU REACH regulation because it may cause serious health effects. Specifically, it is classified as a respiratory sensitizer, meaning it can trigger allergic reactions in the lungs if inhaled, and it is also suspected of causing cancer. This regulation helps ensure that products containing ADCA are carefully managed and that consumers are informed about its presence. The ECHA Candidate List requires companies to notify authorities if they use this substance, promoting safer alternatives. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative. Source: ECHA Candidate List of SVHC (REACH) - https://echa.europa.eu/candidate-list-table
