EU bisphenol restriction (2024/3190) and recertifying high-temperature food-contact materials

It is easy to assume only PC has to change, but BPA-based PSU and BPS-based PESU also require recertification for food contact. Here is the scope, the exemptions and the route to PPSU.

Frequently asked questions

BASF Ultrason® S 2010 is the equivalent standard-viscosity transparent PSU injection grade, matching on tensile strength and HDT. Octud supplies it from Korean stock with evaluation samples.

PSU is widely used for potable-water and non-food applications. However PSU is BPA-based, so for EU food contact it is subject to recertification under Regulation 2024/3190. For high-temperature food contact, consider PPSU (Ultrason® P 3010), made without BPA or BPS.

Yes — where a part must stay transparent but needs higher heat, hydrolysis and chemical resistance than PC. Where notched impact matters, PPSU is preferable.
