Three New Resins
Name | CAS Number | Usable range | Maximum Usage /% | SML/(mg/kg) | QM/(mg/kg) | Notes |
1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid, polymer with 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl1,3-cyclobutanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and 1,3-propanediol, 2-methyl | / | Paints and coating | 80 (calculated by dry weight of coating) | 7.5 (calculated by 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid); 5 (calculated by 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid); 5 (calculated by 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol) 5 (1,3-propanediol, 2-methyl) 6 (trimethylolpropane) | / | When paints and coating made by this substance is used under a high temperature, the maximum temperature shall be under 130℃, and the usage time shall be within 1 hour. Paints and coating made by this substance can be used to contact food in a long period under room temperature. It shall not be used to contact baby food or breast milk |
Styrene polymer with ethyl acrylate, methacrylic acid and glycidyl methacrylate | 56990-26-2 | Paints and coating | 82.1 (calculated by dry weight of coating) | 6 (calculated by acrylic acid) 6 (calculated by methacrylic acid) 0.02 (calculated by glycidyl methacrylate) | / | When paints and coating made by this substance is used under a high temperature, the maximum temperature shall be under 130℃, and the usage time shall be within 1 hour. Paints and coating made by this substance can be used to contact food in a long period under room temperature. It shall not be used to contact baby food or breast milk. When glycidyl methacrylate can react with food or food simulant it contacts, 0.02mg/6dm2 (QM) is deemed as the maximum limit. |
2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, polymer with methyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate and 2-propenoic acid e | 39332-53-1 | Paints and coating | 16.3 (calculated by dry weight of coating) | 6 (calculated by acrylic acid) 6 (calculated by methacrylic acid) | / | When paints and coating made by this substance is used under a high temperature, the maximum temperature shall be under 130℃, and the usage time shall be within 1 hour.
