Abstract
The overall and specific migrations of BADGE n = 0 monomer and m-XDA h ardener from a BEPOX LAB 889 (Gairesa internal code), epoxy system cur ed at room temperature, into three water-based food simulants are stud ied. Hydrolysis of BADGE n = 0 was observed in all of these simulants, giving more polar products. We thus propose changing the EEC Directiv es, which at present only legislate for levels of BADGE n = 0 monomer in the simulants, to include the hydrolysis products of BADGE monomers . Another alternative would be to express all the migration levels due to BADGE and its derived products in terms of BADGE itself.
