The report is intended to outline the main findings of the risk assessment and explain that human exposure to cyclic esters from polyester pre-polymers in food packaging adhesives is not relevant from a toxicological point of view.
FEICA, the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry, recently announced that it has published a Summary Report of a FEICA risk assessment carried out on cyclic esters potentially present in polyester adhesives intended to be used in food contact materials.
Consumers expect the food industry to provide safe products that comply with the latest regulations. FEICA, the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry, recommends avoiding the use of epoxy silanes in food contact applications, and the European Union is expected to set new limits during the course of this year. These limits will require complex testing methods that lead to challenges for converters and packaging manufacturers.
Adhesive manufacturers are developing new technologies that converters can present to their packaged goods customers and enable them to capture more market share.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) continue to gain traction in the broad category of packaging. PSAs are rapidly changing the way goods are packaged and delivered to consumers in traditional retail and via ecommerce.
Predominantly pushed by brisk expansion in the packaged food sector, labeling equipment sales will thrive at a healthy CAGR over the course of next decade.
According to H.B. Fuller, this launch is in line with recommendations from FEICA for members to replace GLYMO in food packaging adhesives before mid-2020.
H.B. Fuller recently announced that it has launched a series of products that are free of epoxy silane commonly known as GLYMO within its Flextra™ range of adhesives for flexible packaging.
With its new RE range that is “designed for recycling,” Henkel reports that it is introducing adhesives and coatings that both improve the recyclability of flexible packaging and make it possible to use recycled content in new packaging.
H.B. Fuller has announced the combination of the new Advantra SMART high-performance hot-melt range for food-safe compliance with FullVision, a data analytics consultancy service.
H.B. Fuller marked 20 years of Advantra food-safe packaging adhesive performance with the launch of additional adhesive technologies in the Europe, India, Middle East, and Africa (EIMEA) market.
According to BASF, the new white oil-based defoamer demonstrates excellent and persistent defoaming efficiency, excellent compatibility across acrylic PSA systems, and good oil-slick resistance during storage for adhesive formulations.
Eastman’s new cellulose esters reportedly meet requirements for use in certain food contact applications under regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (21 CFR), European Commission (Regulation 10/2011), and the Swiss Ordinance on Materials & Articles in Contact with Food (SR 817.023.21).
Eastman recently announced the launch of a new portfolio of 13 cellulose esters for use in food contact applications such as inks, adhesives, tapes and labels, and internal can and other coatings.
