Typical sources are impurities in raw materials, reaction by-products, contaminants from processing equipment, or degradation products. NIAS are of concern because they may potentially migrate from the packaging material into the food.   Contact us today to learn more about Avient's proactive approach to NIAS and how it can benefit your packaging practices. 

THE IMPORTANCE OF PLASTICS FOR PACKAGING Compared to alternative materials, plastic is one of the most sustainable materials available for packaging applications. These issues can lead to “downcycling” of the material to a low-value application. Avient makes no warranties or guarantees respecting suitability of either Avient’s products or the information for your process or end-use application.
