Correlation of specific migration (Cf) of plastics additives with their initial concentration in the polymer (Cp)

摘要

The first list of plastics additives which may be assigned restrictions in a future amendment to Directive 90/128/ EEC is likely to contain over 200 substances. If food Consumption factors are taken into account many Compounds on this list could have restrictions removed But there would, without doubt, still be many additives With restrictions. Extensive migration testing of food Contact plastic containing restricted additives to ensure Compliance would be required. These limits would be Difficult to enforce, add significant cost burdens on the Packaging industry and, for these reasons, may not Provide improved consumer safeguards.
