Research and Markets has announced the addition of Rapra Technology Ltd's new subscription "Polymer Bulletin - Leachables, Extractables and Migration" to their offering.
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/63d28e/polymer_bulletin)
This Polymer Bulletin is a current awareness service from the Polymer Library, the world's largest database dedicated to polymer literature. Each time the abstracts database is updated with new records (approx. every two weeks) you will be sent a bulletin alerting you to any items that relate to Leachables, Extractables or Migration.
When selecting a plastic or rubber material to manufacture with, the extent to which particles can leach or migrate out, or indeed can be extracted, is an important consideration. Small particles including remnants of solvents or catalysts from production, additives or even monomers can escape from the material (which is often packaging) and into anything it is in contact with. This can have serious implications, particularly within the pharmaceutical, medical device and food industries given the potential health hazards. Increasing levels of legislation and regulation go some way to indicating the importance of this issue.
A Current Awareness service from Rapra may be just what you need to update your knowledge with ease and accuracy without having to waste time, effort and money finding the information yourself.
