Embracing EB/UV Curable Technology for Food Packaging End-uses through FDA Compliant Self-Certification Process, 2003 PLACE Conference & GLOBAL HOT MELT Symposium
EB/UV curable technology has been known for many benefits including zero-VOC, production speed enhancement,
overall cost reduction, and processing enabling capability. Recently, with the help of comprehensive and FDA
compliant migration determination testing protocols, EB/UV chemistry has emerged as one of the mainstream
chemistries for food packaging end-uses. Advances in development of the analytical testing protocols and latest
FDA regulations will be discussed to illustrate the certification process for EB/UV chemistry. Many examples are
shown here to qualify products for indirect and direct food contact applications.
