Abstract:
Migration and material tests of food-contact plastic wares were carried out in compliance with the Thai Food Act. Sample materials studied were melamine resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride. Migration levels of phenol, formaldehyde, colors and heavy metals were determined. A test for vinyl chloride monomer in polyvinyl chloride was carried out. Migrant and residual levels in all samples were in compliance with the Act.
