NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to ensuring the safety and compliance of its chemical products, especially for sensitive applications like food-contact materials. UV-531 Absorber, a widely used UV stabilizer, has garnered significant attention for its efficacy and regulatory approvals, particularly from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Understanding the application of UV-531 Absorber in food-contact scenarios requires a clear grasp of its regulatory standing. The FDA has cleared UV-531 Absorber for use in specific food-contact applications under Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Specifically, it is approved under 21 CFR §178.2010 for use in olefin polymers, which are commonly found in food packaging. Additionally, it is approved under 21 CFR §178.3710 for use in petroleum wax, another material utilized in food packaging and preservation.

These approvals often come with specific limitations and concentration restrictions to ensure consumer safety. For instance, the regulations may specify maximum allowable concentrations of UV-531 Absorber in the polymer or wax, and may also define the types of food products with which the packaging can be used (e.g., dry foods without oil, or certain types of dairy products). Adhering strictly to these guidelines is crucial for manufacturers.

The role of UV-531 Absorber in food packaging is to protect the packaged contents from UV-induced degradation, which can affect food quality, color, and nutritional value. By preventing this degradation, it helps to maintain the integrity and shelf-life of food products. Its ability to absorb UV light without contributing to discoloration is also a key advantage for visually appealing packaging.

For manufacturers seeking to incorporate UV-531 Absorber into their food-contact materials, it is essential to consult the latest FDA regulations and ensure that their specific application falls within the permitted parameters. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality UV-531 Absorber and is committed to supporting customers in navigating these regulatory requirements to ensure safe and compliant product development.
