For Packaged food and beverages: Conformity: Must meet the conditions of Dimethylamine-epichlorohydrin copolymer (21 CFR 173.60) may be used in food only as the section provides: the specifications, the foods and the limits written in § 173.60.. In force since 19 Aug 1983.
The section's conditions of use (foods, limits, specifications, labelling) are written in § 173.60 and are not broken down here. Section text as written: "(a) The food additive is produced by copolymerization of dimethylamine and epichlorohydrin in which not more than 5 mole-percent of dimethylamine may be replaced by an equimolar amount of ethylenediamine, and in which the mole ratio of total amine to epichlorohydrin is approximately 1:1. (b) The additive meets the following specifications: (1) The nitrogen content of the copolymer is 9.4 to 10.8 weight percent on a dry basis. (2) A 50-percent-by-weight aqueous solution of the copolymer has a minimum viscosity of 175 centipoises at 25 °C as determined by LVT-series Brookfield viscometer using".
