The demand for food contact compliances is increasing around the globe. In the coatings and inks market, there is growing awareness regarding the safety of substances that may come into contact with food, such as the food’s packaging. Regulations related to food contact exist in North America, South America, Europe, China, and Japan. Manufacturers of coatings and inks often seek out raw materials that meet food contact compliance qualifications in all of these regions – not just one region. In addition to meeting regulatory requirements, manufacturers of coatings and inks also expect superior performance of their raw materials.
To this end, suppliers of coating and ink raw materials – such as defoaming, wetting, leveling additives and more – must ensure that their products meet regulatory requirements and deliver their expected performance benefits. Defoamers and deaerators in particular are used frequently in the industry, as combating foam is the most common challenge in the formulation and application of coatings and inks. Because they are so widely used, it is crucial for products in this large additive class to meet both regulatory and performance demands.
In this webinar, we aim to describe the regulatory landscape and introduce defoamer and deaerator technology that meet above-mentioned demands.
- Describe the importance of global food contact compliances
- Outline the relevant food contact compliances for the coatings and inks industries, by country/region
- Introduce the concept of defoamers and deaerators for coatings and inks
- Provide examples of defoamers and deaerators that meet performance and regulatory requirements
