Abstract
This project is a survey of the occurence of 1,6-hexanediol diglycidyl ether (HDDGE) specifically in food contact material on the Danish market
This survey clarifies that HDDGE is listed on an inventory for possible use in printing inks food contact materials, but that is not used by European producers and importers. The substance is not allowed for use in plastic materials for food contact. One Danish company reported a possible use of HDDGE in coating of drinking tanks and pipelines. This is the only use of HDDGE confirmed in relation to food contact materials in Denmark.
The project is following up on a previous survey under the Danish EPA’s LOUS-review (Environmental Project no. 1472).
