Epoxy is an organic compound consisting of carbon chains bonded to elements such as hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen. This connection occurs through a covalent bond, in which the elements share a pair of electrons to stay together. Epoxies fhas various uses. Epoxy molecules can react chemically to form a tough, yet highly flexible material. Epoxy also refers to epoxy resins that appear after curing. Curing is a chemical process in which a material hardens after exposure to air, heat or chemical additives.
Epoxy is essentially a water, acid and alkali resistant chemical compound. Epoxy and its derivatives are generally used for coating the inner surfaces of cans with lacquer.
In advanced laboratories, tests of epoxy and its derivatives are carried out within the framework of the Turkish Food Codex communiqué (communiqué no: 2012/32) on the restriction of the use of certain epoxy derivatives in substances and materials that come into contact with food. These tests are generally carried out on plastic materials and materials.
The main epoxy derivatives determination tests within the scope of specific migration tests are:
In the tests and analyzes carried out in our organization, which has a wide range of technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and applies the most modern methods, national and international standards and legal regulations in force are complied with. Among the numerous tests performed within this framework, there are also epoxy derivatives determination services within the scope of specific migration tests.
