The new materials have been pre-tested for compliance with the United States FDA requirements under 21 CFR 177.2600 for repeated-use applications and the European standard 10/2011 for food contact. For instance, wall thickness can affect migration test results, with thicker sections presenting a higher potential for failure.

The effective reduction of bacterial activity that can be achieved on TPU film laminated plastic and/or textile surfaces has been confirmed in extensive testing to international standards, including JIS 2801. The additives have also passed strict anti-fungus testing according to JIS Z 2911.

Designed specifically to help OEMs meet vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) standards in underhood automotive HVAC applications, this new material enables reduced VOC emissions and consistently achieves odor testing results of 3.0 per VDA 270. As a result, chemical emissions testing and reporting is now a requirement for most major automotive manufacturers.

PolyOne testing shows that ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G is one of the most robust oxygen scavengers for PET rigid containers, with negligible effects on efficacy for the rPET grades tested, while other competitive materials lost almost all oxygen scavenging ability with rPET content as low as 20 percent.

Animal Testing Policy We are committed to producing safe products complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards while avoiding unnecessary animal testing.

Spiral flow testing results for GLS products are presented below using injection speeds of 3 in/sec and 5 in/sec. Spiral flow test performed using 0.0625" x 0.375" channel at 400°F

The hiding power of the formulations does differ, and should be tested in all opaque and filled polymers before starting production.
