Addivant’s nonylphenol-free plastic antioxidant, Weston 705, has received a formal opinion from the European Food Standards Agency (EFSA).
The formal opinion from EFSA has been included in the draft sixth amendment to the EU plastics legislation (EU 10/2011) and is derived from the extensive additional testing that Addivant has performed on Weston 705 and the associated hydrolysis products.
EFSA increases the specific migration limit of its hydrolysis product by a factor of 20 to 1mg/kg for most sensitive food-contact applications.
