Coating Q&A: Food Contact Coatings and the PL System

Synthetic resin coatings that come into contact with food must be confirmed for compliance with the PL system.

Q: Is coating subject to the positive list system (hereinafter referred to as the PL system)? A: The positive list (PL) system for food contact materials and containers includes synthetic resins. Since some coatings contain synthetic resins, it is necessary to confirm their compliance based on the materials and conditions used for applications that come into contact with food. Yoshida SKT provides representative product numbers that comply with the PL system, categorized by function. The confirmation details vary depending on the specific application and required performance, so please inform us of your usage conditions and consult us about the corresponding product numbers.
