In adverse conditions, inks, additives, films and FOODSTUFF STANDARD:
coatings, as well as foodstuffs to be packaged may
react with the adhesive leading to unforeseen

Therefore, before starting industrial production, we
recommend that you always carry out tests
beforehand so as to check the idealness of the - FDA CFR 21 § 175.105 (USA)
adhesive for the type of complex, as well as the final
application to be achieved.
In unfavourable circumstances, such as with all
adhesives containing the MDI monomer, and
particularly in Nylon/EVA structures, there is a risk of
the monomer migrating. Such A risk is minimised in the
case of MORCHEM PL 275 A + CF-78.
