OtherPhenol-formaldehyde, Cross-linked, Triethylenetetramine & Tetraethylenepentamine Activated is a synthetic polymer-based processing aid used in food manufacturing. It functions as a specialized additive to assist in food processing operations rather than remaining in the final product.
Phenol-formaldehyde, Cross-linked, Triethylenetetramine Activated
OtherPhenol-formaldehyde, cross-linked, triethylenetetramine activated is a synthetic polymer used as a processing aid in food manufacturing. It functions to remove impurities and contaminants during food production without becoming part of the final food product.
Phenol-formaldehyde, Sulfite-modified, Cross-linked
OtherPhenol-formaldehyde, sulfite-modified, cross-linked is a synthetic polymer used as a processing aid in food manufacturing. It functions to facilitate production processes rather than remain as an ingredient in the final food product.
Piperazine Dihydrochloride
OtherPiperazine dihydrochloride is a chemical compound that has not been established as a food additive by the FDA. Its specific functions and applications in food products remain undefined, and it is not currently permitted for use in food in the United States.
Poly(acrylic Acid-co-hypophosphite), Sodium Salt
OtherPoly(acrylic Acid-co-hypophosphite), Sodium Salt is a synthetic polymer used as a boiler water additive in food processing equipment. It functions as a scale inhibitor and corrosion preventative in industrial water systems that contact food production environments.
Poly(alkyl(c16-22)acrylate)
OtherPoly(alkyl(c16-22)acrylate) is a synthetic polymer processing aid used in food manufacturing to facilitate production processes. It is not approved as a food additive by the FDA and does not appear in foods intended for consumer consumption.
Poly(divinylbenzene-co-trimethyl(vinylbenzyl)ammonium Chloride)
OtherPoly(divinylbenzene-co-trimethyl(vinylbenzyl)ammonium chloride) is a synthetic polymer used as a processing aid in food manufacturing. It functions to remove or modify unwanted substances during production, with no approved food uses in major regulatory regions.
Poly(maleic Anhydride), Sodium Salt
OtherPoly(maleic Anhydride), Sodium Salt (CAS 70247-90-4) is a synthetic polymer used as a boiler water additive in food processing equipment. It functions to prevent scale buildup and corrosion in industrial steam generation systems used in food manufacturing.
