(1) Food contact additive with expanded scope
Name | Polyethylene |
CAS number | 9002-88-4 |
Range of application | Plastic: POM |
Maximum level (%) | 0.3 |
SML / (mg/kg) | / |
QM / (mg/kg) | / |
Remark | The use temperature of POM plastic materials and articles which added this substance shall not exceed 121 oC. |
(2) Food contact resin with expanded scope
Name | 2-Propenoic acid, polymer with 1,3-butadiene and ethenylbenzene |
CAS number | 25085-39-6 |
Range of application | Adhesive |
Maximum level (%) | Appropriate level |
SML / (mg/kg) | 6 (Count as Acrylic acid); ND (1,3-butadiene, DL=0.01 mg/kg) |
QM / (mg/kg) | 1 (1,3-butadiene) |
Remark | The adhesive which produced by this substance can only be used as a pressure sensitive adhesive for indirect contact with food. Only for filling into a tin at room temperature for long-term storage (including hot filling and pasteurization under conditions: T≤70 oC, t≤2 h or T≤100 oC, t≤15 min). |
