Henkel is committed to support the food and packaging industry with food safe adhesive solutions and expertise. Therefore, we have established a series of technical white papers on various food safe related topics such as risk assessments, migration or chemicals under discussion.
Download your white paper of interest via the form below and benefit from the knowledge of our Henkel experts.
For non-approved substances, degradation by-products, reaction products and impurities, Henkel’s toxicology group conducts individual risk assessments.
NIAS are non-intentionally added substances, which have to be identified and quantified by analytical assessment.
Henkel’s analytical department has established a wide range of standardized migration tests in order to determine if food packaging is food safe.
To run an efficient conversion, ensure that the structure of the final packaging material is well understood.
Polyester based materials unavoidably contain cyclic ester byproducts as NIAS. Their migration behavior needs to be risk assessed.
Henkel’s food contact statements refer to the main European legislation valid for food contact adhesives.
There are two fractions of mineral oil, the mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and the mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH).
Adhesives could contain internal or external plasticizers. Internal plasticizers are chemically bonded. External plasticizers are small molecules with a high migration potential.
Primary aromatic amines migration is one of the most important aspects related to the safe use of polyurethane laminating adhesives as well as other polyurethane based packaging components.
An aging population needs packaging solutions that are easy to open and adhesives play an important role in the functional design of a packaging.
The most efficient way to improve food safety is to minimize migration, e.g. by optimizing the amount of the applied adhesive or incorporate a suitable barrier in the packaging material.
According to the European Food Regulation, food packaging has to ensure that the packaged foodstuff remains safe until it is consumed.
