ADEKA Reactive Surfactants Receive New FDA Approval for Food-Contact Adhesives
ADEKA recently received FDA approval to increase usage levels up to 3% by weight (dry), reportedly allowing adhesive manufacturers to achieve optimal polymerization stability.
ADEKA Corp. recently announced that its REASOAP series has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to increase maximum usage levels in accordance with FDA 21 CFR 175.105 (Adhesives) and 175.125 (Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives). Since 2019, ADEKA REASOAP SR (anionic) and ER (nonionic) have been approved as food-contact reactive surfactants with a maximum threshold of 1% by weight (dry) of total monomers.
ADEKA recently received FDA approval to increase usage levels up to 3% by weight (dry), reportedly allowing adhesive manufacturers to achieve optimal polymerization stability. ADEKA reports that its REASOAP SR and ER are the only food contact-compliant reactive surfactants available for adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs).
