EN 15137:2006 (E) 4 Introduction NOGE (Novolac glycidyl ethers) is used as a

23、monomer in the manufacture of certain polymeric food contact materials and articles. The main application of NOGE is in epoxy coatings for cans and ends. The substance may also be used in organosol coatings. After the manufacture, residues of NOGE or its reaction products can remain in the finished

24、product and may migrate into foodstuffs coming into contact with that product. The analytical method described allows for the determination NOGE and its reaction products in can coatings. EN 15137:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard describes the determination of NOGE components with more than

25、 two aromatic rings (the two-ring NOGE is equal to BFDGE = Bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)methane bis(2,3-epoxypropyl)ether) and at least one epoxy group as well as their derivatives containing chlorohydrin functions and having a molecular mass less than 1000 Daltons in can coatings. A high performance liquid

26、chromatography (HPLC) method is employed based on reversed phase HPLC and fluorescence detection. The method is capable of determining NOGE and its derivatives at a minimum level of 1 g/ml in solution. Direct HPLC analysis of the can coating extract may result in chromatograms difficult to interpret

27、, due to interference from other components or the instability of the monomer resulting in a complex mixture of derivatives and/or reaction products. By forced hydrolysis of all epoxy groups and their reaction products, the quantification of the NOGE is simplified and the identities of the substance

28、s are indicatively confirmed. NOTE In this European standard the term “NOGE and its derivatives” refers to the requirements of Directive 2002/16/EC 1 and its amendment, Directive 2004/13/EC 2. This includes NOGE components with more than two aromatic rings and at least one epoxy group as well as the

29、ir derivatives containing chlorohydrin functions and having a molecular mass less than 1000 Daltons. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European standard.

31、simulants and the determination of substances in plastics and the selection of conditions of exposure to food simulants 3 Principle 3.1 Determination of NOGE and derivatives in a can coating Can coatings are extracted with acetonitrile for 24 h at room temperature. Then the extraction solvent is inj

32、ected into a reverse phase HPLC column. The substances are separated using a gradient elution profile. Detection is performed by means of fluorescence detection. Identification is based on retention time and comparison with reference substances, fluorescence and UV detection response. For confirmati

33、on and quantification of NOGE and derivatives the epoxy and the chlorohydrin containing components are fully hydrolysed in alkaline medium at elevated temperature to form the diol components. The hydrolysed components (NOGE per H2O) are separated by HPLC using fluorescence detection. The NOGE per H2

34、O components will appear early in the chromatogram due to the increased polarity of the hydrolysed components. Compared to the HPLC chromatogram prior to hydrolysis a simpler HPLC chromatogram is obtained after hydrolysis, containing fewer peaks because all epoxy components and chlorohydrin derivati

35、ves disappear; if a peak remains then this substance shall be considered an interfering substance originating from the matrix. To establish compliance with the restrictions set the total amount of diol substances is determined. If relevant, the total amount of NOGE per H2O derivatives is reduced wit

36、h the amount of NOGE per H2O derivatives present initially, prior to hydrolysis. EN 15137:2006 (E) 6 3.2 Hydrolysis NOGE and its partly hydrolysed adducts hydrolyse in aqueous neutral and acid conditions. The chlorinated adducts are stable in acid conditions and hydrolyse only slowly in neutral aque

37、ous media. However, in slightly alkaline conditions all adducts (excepting ether derivatives) hydrolyse to the NOGE per H2O components. To force complete hydrolysis of the epoxy and HCl adducts, the sample solutions are buffered at pH 8.5 and subsequently stored for a minimum of 20 h at 100 C. After

38、 that period the NOGE per H2O substances are determined. NOTE 1 Some structures of NOGE and derivatives are shown in Annex A and B.
