The media recently disclosed the information that PVC cling film can cause cancer, which has caused an uproar in the country. This newspaper reported on this issue on October 17th. In order to further clarify the facts, the reporter once again interviewed the China Chlor-Alkali Industry Association, China's polyvinyl chloride industry regulatory agency, yesterday.
The experts of the association unanimously pointed out that there is no conclusion on whether PVC cling film will cause cancer. To take a step back, even if PVC cling film does have problems, it is safe to say that it is also a problem with processing aids called DE?HA. In the current storm, many media confuse names. Ethylhexylamine and diisooctyl adipate in English are both DEHA. Ethylhexylamine mistakenly known as the “culprit†cannot actually be increased. Plasticizer. PVC resin itself is absolutely no problem, resins and additives are two things and cannot be confused.
According to Liu Dongsheng, deputy secretary-general of the association, people are prejudiced against polyvinyl chloride because of the high content of residual vinyl chloride monomer in polyvinyl chloride resins produced in the early years. In 1987, vinyl chloride was classified as human cancer by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. At present, the Codex Alimentarius Commission has stipulated that vinyl chloride monomer in food packaging materials should not exceed 1 mg/kg. At present, the production process of polyvinyl chloride resin has been updated for a long time, and all the steam stripping technology has been adopted, which completely solves the problem of residual vinyl chloride monomer. One hundred percent of the PVC resin produced domestically meets the sanitary grade product standard, and the residual vinyl chloride monomer in the PVC products of major manufacturing companies cannot be measured at all. It should be said that polyvinyl chloride resin can be used as food packaging with confidence, the key is to see if the added additives are in line with food requirements.
Experts also pointed out that domestic production of PVC food packaging are used in accordance with the provisions of the national standard additives, such as food grade dioctyl phthalate (DOP), epoxy soybean oil, etc., these are health and harmless . Moreover, PVC cling film has unparalleled advantages for food packaging, such as low cost, strong adhesiveness and stretchability, and easy to use, so at present more than 90% of cling films in supermarkets are PVC cling film. It is unscientific and unrealistic to completely eliminate PVC cling film.
