Children's products used in food (dishes and cutlery of initiation, vessels and containers of food), must be subject to strict safety standards. In addition, complementary legislation relating to the compliance of plastic materials in contact with food (Regulation No. 10/2011) should be especially observed.
The migration of substances from the plastic container for food was influenced by various factors related to the use, which have been the subject of many studies. However, although some studies show that the conditions of processing is also influenced in the same, there are no studies that analyze in depth the influence of the conditions of the process migration, notably involved in the structure and characteristics of the material, among other things.
For this reason, Aiju will carry out a detailed study of how to influence conditions of injection of different plastic materials with different characteristics in the migration of organic and inorganic substances that are part of children's products intended for food contact. Its development is intended, in addition, identification and if specific quantification of substances that have been migrated, developing the necessary test methods for this.
With the development of the project, focused on manufacturing of traditional products, will be available to companies in the sector of the plastic and child new resources for the development of products more secure, in such a way that is conducive to the implementation of the legislation in force with regard to global migration.
This project is funded by the Impiva within the program of strategic development (case IMDEEA/2011/25) and financied with Feder funds.
