The functional role of each ingredient plays a crucial part in this process: is it a binder, an additive for flexibility, or a component that enhances durability? In addition, certain substances appear on EU restriction lists and must therefore be handled with particular care or avoided altogether. Prokol\u2019s documentation standards include fully updated SDSs to comply with statutory transparency requirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Traceability as a project requirement<br \/>\n<\/strong>In international projects, consistent and accessible information provision is indispensable.
