Identification and Migration Studies of Photolytic Decomposition Products of UV-Photoinitiators in Food Packaging
UV-curable inks, coatings, and adhesives are being increasingly used in food packaging systems. When exposed to UV energy, UV-photoinitiators (PI’s) present in the formulations produce free radicals which catalyze polymerization of monomers and pre-polymers into resins. In addition to phot...
