Food Contact Substance: A mixture of one or more of tripropylene glycol diacrylate (CAS Reg. No. 42978-66-5), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (CAS Reg. No. 15625-89-5), trimethylolpropane ethoxylate triacrylate (CAS Reg. No. 28961-43-5), and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether diacrylate (CAS Reg. No. 4687-94-9, 53814-24-7, 55127-80-5, 55818-57-0 or 37625-93-7), and optionally the difunctional α-hydroxy ketone described in the notification as a photoinitiator. The mixture will be cured by either ultraviolet (UV) or electron beam (EB) irradiation.
