Analysis of primary aromatic amines (PAA)

What Are Primary Aromatic Amines? Why Determine Primary Aromatic Amines in Packaging Materials? What Are the Health Risks of Primary Aromatic Amines?

Primary Aromatic Amines (PAA) are potentially carcinogenic substances that can pass into foods through packaging that comes into contact with food. The formation of Primary Aromatic Amines (PAA) can be seen from multi-layer packaging materials consisting of Aromatic polyurethane (PU) adhesives, especially for packaging used for heat-treated foods.

Primary Aromatic Amines (PAA) are one of the known human carcinogens. Therefore, long-term human consumption of PAA through food may cause many health problems. For this reason, one of the specific migration tests performed on packages is "Primary Aromatic Amine Determination".

Determination of Primary Aromatic Amine (PAA) is one of the test parameters performed in the accredited and authorized Nanolab Packaging Analysis Laboratory.
