PP & POM Plastic Screws in Food Packaging: FDA 21 CFR & EU 10/2011 Compliance Validation
As health-conscious consumption trends accelerate, food packaging demands higher safety standards for fasteners. PP (polypropylene) and POM (polyoxymethylene) plastic screws are ideal for premium packaging due to exceptional chemical resistance, low migration rates, and recyclability.
1. Key Migration Test Results (ISO 10993-12)
| Test Medium | PP Screws (24h) | POM Screws (24h) | Regulatory Limit (mg/kg) | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10% Ethanol (wine simulant) | 0.82 | 0.65 | ≤60 | ✅ Compliant |
| 3% Acetic Acid (vinegar simulant) | 1.35 | 1.12 | ≤60 | ✅ Compliant |
| Olive Oil (fat simulant) | 2.05 | 1.88 | ≤60 | ✅ Compliant |
| Deionized Water (neutral beverage simulant) | 0.11 | 0.09 | ≤60 | ✅ Compliant |
2. Regulatory Compliance Deep Dive
• FDA 21 CFR §177.1520: Explicitly permits PP for repeated food contact; §177.2475 permits POM for single-use containers.
• EU Regulation (EU) No 10/2011: Overall migration limit for PP is 10 mg/dm²; for POM it's 5 mg/dm². Jial Hardware test results are 95% below limits.
• China GB 4806.6-2016: Both PP and POM are listed as permitted materials. All Jial products pass full-spectrum testing.
