Eastman Chemical Company (EMN - Free Report) recently announced the introduction of a new portfolio of 13 cellulose esters. The products under the new portfolio will be used in food contact applications including adhesives, inks, internal can, coatings, along with tapes and labels.
Per the company, the products meet requirements for usage in specific food contact applications under the U.S. FDA regulations (21 CFR), European Commission (Regulation 10/2011), and the Swiss Ordinance on Materials & Articles in Contact with Food (SR 817.023.21).
The products are produced, handled, stored and transported by the company under conditions adhering to the current Good Manufacturing Practices for food contact applications. This move is the latest instance of the launch of innovative products by Eastman Chemical that will help to meet market demands.
Moreover, the introduction of these new food contact products brings the company’s portfolio of cellulose esters for formulated products to more than 50 for a variety of diverse applications. The new portfolio includes Eastman CA-398-3, Eastman CAB-381-0.1, Eastman CAP-482-20, Eastman CAB-381-20 and Eastman Solus 2100 Performance Additive.
