Ohio 44313-1799 /Q /t' LLUjJjlL September 13, 1990 Mr. Garret Giffin Pacific Plastics 2005 - 87th Avenue, South Kent, Washington 98031 SUBJECT: GEON 110X500 FDA STATUS Dear Mr. Giffin: Mr. Glen Schaaf asked that I write to you regarding the FDA status of Geon 110X500. Geon 110X500 is a homopolymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. Polyvinyl chloride is prior sanctioned for use in general food contact applications, both flexible and rigid. The prior sanction is based on an article by A. J. Lehman, from the FDA, published in the Journal of the Association of Food and Drug Officials, July, 1951. The current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) specifications for prior sanctioned PVC are a maximum volatility of 3.0% (1 hour at 105C) and an inherent viscosity of not less than 0.35 by ASTM D-1243-79. Geon 110X500 meets the GMP specifications for prior sanctioned PVC and therefore meets the current requirements of the FDA for general food contact applications. PVC is also listed as an acceptable ingredient of food contact articles under 21CFR: 175.105 175.300 176.180 177.1010 177.1200 177.2250 179.45 If you have any further questions, please call me at 216/374-3422.
