PLASTIC MIGRATION IN DRINKING WATER WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 80°C BY THE TYPE OF POLYPROPYLENE PLASTIC CUPS

Packaging, Plastics Migration, Water.

Food packaging is the material used to contain or wrap food, either in direct contact with food or not. Polypropylene plastic widely used as a cup for beverage containers, Polypropylene use often do not pay attention to the health hazards, dangers, Polypropylene plastic use at temperatures of 80'C to cause migration of plastic. Several factors can affect the migration of plastic is food or drink temperature, contact time and surface area. This study is experimental. Purposive sampling technique that the sample is determined by the researchers themselves using drinking water with a temperature of 80'C with a type of plastic Polypropylene. The aim of research to determine the effect of contact time on the activities of the plastic migration in drinking water at a temperature of 80'C. The results showed there were two chemical compounds are styrene and pthalic acid. The results of the examination of samples of 18 samples of the activity of the compound styrene on contact time of 20 minutes amounted to 67.856%, 30 minutes 72.403%, 40 minutes 74.881% while the activity of compounds pthalic acid on contact time of 20 minutes 32.144%, 30 minutes 27.596%, 40 minutes 25.119%. Suggestion research that people use plastic type in accordance with the designation, especially regarding temperature and use a plastic that has the label of food grade as well as for further research are expected to continue to compound concentration and compatibility between types of plastics by type of compound migration results.
