Test for food contact materials

Eating and drinking is an important of daily life. Thus consumers are very aware of the quality and safety of food contact commodities (food level commodities).

Every food contact product or material must satisfy the regulations of various countries as listed below.

  • LFGB – Germany’s new food and drink regulation
  • FDA – Approval of U.S. Food and Drug Administration
  • EU No 10/2011 – New regulation on food contact plastics of European Union
  • DGCCRF – France’s food level approval
  • JFSL370 – Japan’s regulation on Health and Social Safety Department (Japan’s Ministry of Health)
  • GU283 – Italy’s safety regulation on food contact materials
  • GBT5009 – China’s food safety national standard

Syndiotactic polystyrene – XAREC® SPS


XAREC® SPS has been put into production by Idemitsu Kosan since 1997. Its structure is different from ordinary polystyrenes in which it possesses a regular and alternative arrangement. XAREC® SPS has properties that ordinary polystyrenes do not own and thus becomes an emerging, outstanding material. Its properties include: one lightest resin among all engineering plastics; no hydrolysis, steam resistance; high acid and alkaline resistance; good liquidity; good mold repeatability; very little dielectric loss; high tracking resistance; high heat resistance (melting point: about 270oC, heat distortion temperature of GF30% reinforced grade: about 250oC); high drug resistance to oils and aliphatic solvents.

  • The properties of XAREC® SPS include:

  • Low specific gravity
  • Resistance to hydrolysis and steam
  • High thermal resistance (heat distortion temperature is around 250℃）
  • High liquidity, low wastage to products
  • Very small dielectric loss
  • Excellent acid and alkaline resistance
  • Excellent resistance to oils and aliphatic solvents

  • XAREC®SPS is mainly classified into the following grades:

  • Approved by FDA, EU food contact and NSF drinking water standard: WA212
  • Approved by FDA, EU, GB food contact: S135
  • Approved by Japan food contact: C132
  • Flame retardant V-0，approved by long-time heat resistant UL746B: S931

SK PETG & PCTG
SKYGREEN & ECOZEN

Highly functional PETG resin SKYGREEN is an environmental hormone-free Bisphenol A, an environmental-friendly material. Credited to its transparency and good chemical resistance, it quickly substitutes original materials like PC, PMMA and PVC. Also, its great further processing and molding functions make it wide application range from daily life commodities like cosmetic containers, electrical components and agricultural materials to building materials.
Moreover, SKYGREEN PETG/PCTG is an environmental-friendly plastic, It can undergo sheet extrusion, injection molding, blow molding and pipe extrusion. Hence it is used in a lot of commodities.

  • Properties of SKYGREEN PETG models: S2008 / K2012 / PN200 / KN200:

  • High melt viscosity
  • High transparency
  • Good chemical resistance
  • High malleability
  • Easy to be printed
  • Easy to be molded (injection, blow, pipe extrusion)
  • Simple molding operation (low molding temperature, short molding cycle)
  • Can be reused as drainage opening material, cut cost
  • No toxic gas, offensive smell, environmental-friendly
  • Compliance with U.S. food regulation and ISO10993 medical regulation
  • Properties of SKYGREEN PCTG models: JN100 / JN200:

  • High impact resistance
  • High degree of crystallinity
  • Remaining properties are similar to that of PETG

  • SKYGREEN PETG / PCTG are applied to

  • Cosmetic bottles, soap holders, shampoos and cleaning containers
  • Toys, components of refrigerators, electrical appliances and components
  • Computer cards, caps of pens
  • Medical facilities and supplies
  • Food packaging containers
  • Tool fittings
  • Rack notices

  • Properties of ECOZEN PCTG:

  • Food level, resistance to food and impact
  • Heat distortion temperature reaches 110℃
  • Models: T90G / T95G / T100G / T110G
