Lohtragon^® and Food Contact Requirements

In certain industrial applications the materials interact with food and thus must be appropriate for food contact, such as packaging for food products. For these applications, we can offer respective product qualities, including food monographs like e.g. E number (European Food Legislation, Commission Regulation EU No 231/2012) or FCC (Food Chemicals Codex). Depending on the individual product and end application, our experts will also have a look into specific legislations, such as the European Food Contact Compliance according to EU No 10/2011 for plastic applications. Please contact us for your food contact requirement.

CLP (Classification, Labelling, and Packaging & GHS (Globally Harmonized System)

The CLP regulation in the EU sets rules for the classification, labelling, and packaging of substances and mixtures. We work according to this CLP standard criteria for determining the hazards of chemicals and provide the appropriate warning labels on our products. The GHS, as international approach, provides the framework for harmonizing the classification and labelling of chemicals across different countries and regions and is also applied.
