Intertek to Present on the Safe Use of Silicone, Rubber, and Polymers in Food Contact and Medical Device Applications at the Global Polymer Summit
18 Aug 2025
Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is a proud presenter at the Global Polymer Summit, taking place from September 8–11, 2025, at Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The summit will focus on all aspects of polymers, rubber, and elastomers, and will feature an expo with over 200 exhibitors, technical presentations, courses, and networking opportunities.
During the event, our experts Rebekah Morrow and Alexandra Minich will present a technical talk on “Safe Use of Silicone, Rubber and Polymers in Food Contact and Medical Device Applications” on September 10 from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM EST, in Room 25B.
The session will explore how to ensure regulatory compliance and consumer safety across global markets. It will cover the importance of addressing migration risks, particularly low molecular weight species, and emphasize the need for comprehensive toxicological risk assessments to confirm material safety. Attendees will learn how advanced analytical techniques will enable the detection of trace substances in complex matrices. These insights will support end-to-end compliance, from extractables and leachables testing to regulatory submissions. The presentation will also provide guidance on navigating region-specific requirements in the U.S., EU, and Asia, demonstrating how a science-driven approach can accelerate market access for food contact and medical device products.
Our experts will be available on-site on September 10 for one-on-one discussions. Attendees are encouraged to connect with our team to explore how our high-value advisory services go beyond compliance, driving innovation and sustainable practices in the polymers and plastics industry.
