After de-flashing all bottles are checked for minimum top load,

presence of holes and for tight performance.

Default bottles are discarded immediately.

TESTS

Raw materials: MI, MWD, viscosity, density, color, ESCR

Bottles: Top load, impact resistance, ESCR, barrier properties, optical and physical properties, chemical resistance

Blowmoulders need a QC Lab to guarantee quality consistency

Internal pressure test:

bottle filled 1/3 of volume with Igepal 10% solution

bottle closed with cap and pressurized (e.g. 400 mbar)

equipment placed in hot room (40°C)

timer detects time of failure (pressure loss)

P = 400 mbar

Impact resistance according to ASTM D 2463 mostly measured by Bruceton staircase method especially important for dangerous goods packaging

Falling height and testing °T varies, according to application

For performance evaluation of containers which is not possible to beevaluated according to standards, is used the “panel test” (Procedureis described in a standard).A number of “experts” is requested to evaluate separately the performance of an item (e.g. smell) and to report separately about their findings.

Status in Europe today is a mixture of:

EU-Directives and National Regulations

National Regulations: Positive lists by country

(e.g. additives, polymerization aids, process aids, initiators,

catalyst residues) Implementation of EU-Directives into the national food contact

regulations (EU-Directive vs. EU-Regulation)

• Resin supplier migration tests

• It is the responsibility of resin converters and food packers to make

sure that finished articles meet the relevant migration limits

• Resin suppliers have no control over customers’ process conditions

– They cannot state migration compliance

• Voluntary certification, which has the purpose to guarantee a consistent

high level of quality within the time

• The certification covers (or can cover): Manufacturing plants, Labs,

Offices and related working procedures and demands to keep records

and an up-date databank

• Certification is issued on the basis of internal and external audits, after

evaluation of activity records and QC data consistency.
