Coatings and Ink Products for Food Contact Materials -- Coatings and Inks used in the Food Chain -- Application Techniques for Inks -- Regulations Covering the Use of Inks and Coatings with Food -- Assessing the Safety of Inks and Coatings for Food Applications -- Potential Migrants and Published Migration Data -- Improving the Safety of Inks and Coatings for Food Use
Summary
This report has attempted to cover all of the coatings and inks products used in food contact scenarios. In practice, this encompasses an extremely wide range of polymer systems and formulations, and an emphasis has been placed on coatings and inks used in food packaging, as this is usually regarded as representing the most important application category with respect to the potential for migration to occur. In addition to a thorough introduction of the polymers and additives that are used to produce coatings and inks, there are also chapters covering the regulation of these materials, the migr
