Migration Analysis for Glass Bottles
Dear All,
May I know what should be used as the simulant for doing a migration analysis for
glass bottles & plastic droppers which packing spices essential oils in them
Thank you very much for your time!
Greetings Nalathu,
The glass bottles are generally safe from migration. There are numerous studies across that indicate, for a variety of treated glass also, that it is unlikely to have migration problems even for heavy metals (eg lead and cadmium, unless you use a "shady" producer). For glass they usually perform durability tests
As for plastic the most important thing is phthalic acid esters, for which oil is used as a simulant (suggesting to contact a lab for further specific info).
Regards!
