Milliken ClearTint® Liquid Polymeric Colorants Win FDA Approval for Clarified PP and HDPE Food Contact Applications
Ghent, Belgium - Milliken & Company today announced that its ClearTint® polymeric colorants have received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food contact applications. All five ClearTint primaries, the basis for all the company’s ClearTint colors, have been approved under the FDA’s Food Contact Notification program. Milliken’s proactive efforts to secure agency approval, undertaken on behalf of customers, will benefit manufacturers of food containers in two important ways. First, customers can avoid the time and cost required to calculate use levels and conditions for non-migration of new ClearTint colorant blends, making it easier to adopt the latest color trends. Second, these high-end products help ensure safety in broader application areas, such as sippy cups and baby bottles and other repeat-use containers. FDA approval adds an important new benefit to the already compelling ClearTint value proposition.
