How the Law Concerning Polyetheramine Additive Safety Testing Differs From Other Derivatives

A newly disclosed method for creating polymer with higher optical and physical properties is known as polyetheramine. In particular, the disclosed invention relates to the process of polymerizing polyetheramine by introducing a polyetheramine additive through the polymer extrusion process. The polymerized polyetheramine, thereby formed, is highly spinnable at later stages into yarn. The polymerized polyetheramine can also be done in different devices such as tubular reactors, repeatedly agitated... The ability to form this polymer is possible because of the ability of UV to polymerize polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, and polyethylene carbonate esters into liquid or gas form, which is then injected into rollers or other machines that reconvert the liquid into thread.

This is not only unique but also very interesting and promising. Thus, the inventors have applied their knowledge in chemical composition to develop this compound. It is said to have low solubility, high catalytic activity, and ability to be tailored for specific applications. However, there are no record of usage so far, and no patents. Other than claiming a unique combination of polymerized, they have not disclosed how the product is used.

It is clear from above claims that polyethylene glycol and its additives are not only new and promising additives, but also very useful ones. Their benefits have manifold applications. However, it is very important to realize that these claims are merely speculation and it is best to stay well away from them. Polyethylene glycol and its additives should not be seen as a cure-all. Only a good lawyer with expert knowledge on the subject can help you determine if your use of this additive is lawful.

The legal background is based on two legal interpretations. One isements are based on Congress' intention in passing the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDA). Under the Act, no food or dietary supplement can be marketed or contain any claim that it can aid a cure, prevent disease, or reduce the risk of cancer. The second interpretation is based on regulations regarding the labeling and package of cosmetics, including the ingredient label on cosmetics products.

Polyethylene glycol and its additives fall under the category of dietary supplements. Under FDA regulations, companies are allowed to make such claims only after meeting FDA guidelines. And they can only do so if they can back up these claims with scientific data. Therefore, such claims should be evaluated by an independent party, such as a pharmaceutical research organization.

For example, claims that polyethylene glycol contains "essential fatty acids" will be evaluated by FDA experts as a statement of fact. Such statements must be supported by citations and data. In addition, statements that "this ingredient helps prevent cell damage due to free radical damage" will be evaluated as supporting information since manufacturers are not allowed to include unsubstantiated statements on their labels.

While the above mentioned legal interpretations are applicable in the US, the scope of such claims is global. For example, some beauty and bathing product manufacturers in other countries, such as Japan, make similar but false claims regarding the benefits of their products. Such companies risk ending up in legal actions if they don't adhere to FDA requirements and guidelines. The European Union (EU) has much stricter regulations regarding the use of polyethylene glycol as a fragrance additive.
