Packaging Analysis

Detecting and monitoring the presence of impurities within the packaging material is vital for a safe and compliant route to market. Perform in-depth analysis on additives and emissions, get to the root of packaging failures and detect the presence of contaminants.

• Analyze additives in multilayer polymer laminates including plasticizers, flame retardants, antioxidants, acid scavengers, light stabilizers, lubricants, pigments, antistatic agents, slip compounds and thermal stabilizers
• Test for VOC emissions from packaging inclusions such as the solvents present in label adhesives, dyes, inks and varnishes
• Get control of extractables & leachables and comply with relevant regulations such as EC 1935/2004, EC 2023/2006, Commission Directive 2002/72/EC, FDA title 21 CFR, AS 2070-1999, Japan's Food Sanitation Law and GB9685-2008
