FCN No. 1092

SABIC Innovative Plastics

According to Section 409(h)(1)(C) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, food contact substance notifications (FCNs) are effective only for the listed manufacturer and its customers. Other manufacturers must submit their own FCN for the same food contact substance and intended use.
Food Contact Substance: 1,3-benzenedicarbonyl dichloride, polymer with 1,4-benzenedicarbonyl dichloride, carbonic dichloride and 4,4'-(1-methylethylidene)bis[phenol] (polyester carbonate resins) (CAS Reg. No. 71519-80-7). The resins are produced by the condensation of 4,4'- isopropylidenediphenol, carbonyl chloride, terephthaloyl chloride, and isophthaloyl chloride such that the finished resins are composed of 45 to 85 mole percent ester, of which up to 55 mole percent is the terephthaloyl isomer. The resins are manufactured using a phthaloyl chloride/carbonyl chloride mole ratio of (0.81 to 5.7)/1 and isophthaloyl chloride/terephthaloyl chloride mole ratio of 0.81/1 or greater. The manufacturing process may include optional adjuvant substances authorized for the resins.
