Introduction:
Plastics and other polymeric materials have become indispensable in our everyday lives. Although they offer many benefits, hazardous chemicals may be present in these materials. These hazardous materials can be introduced either intentionally as additives, or unintentionally as pollutants.
AccuStandard has collected or synthesized many of these polymer adjuncts and is pleased to present them in this newest unique catalog as Certified Reference Standards for monitoring these chemicals.
The occurrence, toxicity and analytical methods used in the detection, monitoring (for both presence and levels) of these chemical classes and individual compounds within these classes are more thoroughly described in the book the Handbook for the Chemical Analysis of Plastic and Polymer Additives (published in 2007 by CRC Press). Both manufacturers and distributors of plastic and related polymeric materials will find the CRC book to be an authoritative source of information that compliments this catalog.
This catalog contains the most comprehensive list of Certified Reference Materials for Additive Analysis available anywhere. Calibrating with Certified Standards adds an additional layer of confidence in the analysis that can aid in meeting regulations, protecting in challenges from governmental regulations, and providing protection from legal issues that could be raised by consumers of your products.
Below find a list of regulations that require analysis of many of these additives:
EU Directive 2002/96/EC WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) that establishes limits for the content of a product that must be recyclable or reusable.   EU Directive 2003/11/EC ROHS (Restriction Of the use of certain Hazardous Substances) restricting the use of six toxins from most electronic and electrical equipment   EU Directive 90/128/EC for monomers and additives for plastics intended for food contact   EU Directive 2002/72/EC relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come in contact with foodstuffs   EU Directive 2002/61/EC Aryl Amine Breakdown Products in Azo Dyes   EU Directive 67/548/EEC Carcinogenic and Regulated Dyes   FDA and The United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) - 21 CFR Parts 175-178 that regulate adhesives, components of coatings, paper and paperboard components, polymers and adjuvants and production aids.   United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) - Methods 606, 506-1 and 8061 regulating Phthalates and Adipates
Both the catalog and book are organized into classes by additive type. Manufacturers can easily find Standards that match their particular application and product formulation for the following product categories:
Medical Devices, Food Packaging, Pharmaceutical Packaging, Toys, Wire and Cable, etc.
