Determination of Epoxy and Derivatives in Packages

Why is Epoxy and Its Derivatives Analyzed in Packaging Materials? What are Epoxy and Its Derivatives?

Epoxy and its Derivatives are inspected within the scope of "Turkish Food Codex Communiqué on Restriction of the Use of Certain Epoxy Derivatives in Substances and Materials in Contact with Food" and it is aimed to keep the amount in packaging materials under control.

Epoxy and its derivatives, which are resistant to acidity, alkalinity and water, are generally analyzed in cans. Epoxy and its derivatives, which are used in coating the inner surfaces of cans with lacquer, can migrate from the packages to the foods with long-term contact.

Determination of Epoxy and Its Derivatives within the scope of specific migration is one of the important test parameters in packaging materials. Determination of Epoxy and Its Derivatives in packages is carried out in the accredited and authorized Nanolab Packaging Analysis Laboratory.
