Recipe (chemical formulation) By recipe is meant the detailed chemical composition of the material that is used to manufacture the product. The recipe in dependence of the material type has to be in accordance in each case to the applicable positive list of KTW Guideline, Coatings Guideline, Lubricant Guideline and Elastomer Guideline. For the disclosure of the recipe a secrecy agreement can be concluded. On demand we will send you our template. Migration test After passing the examination of the recipe, the migration test will be performed according the requirements of the respective guideline according to DIN EN 12873-1. The test is always performed at 23 ± 2 °C. In addition the temperature ranges of 60 ± 2 °C and 85 ± 2 °C can be included. In the test water the basic requirements and the additional requirements that are arising from the recipe examination will be examined The required test samples for the migration tests have to be agreed directly with the TZW. Test-procedure and –duration The test-duration depends basically on the completeness of the recipe disclosure. It has to be considered, that often pre-suppliers have to be involved in the recipe review. In this case we also conclude secrecy agreements with the pre-suppliers. After the recipe review has been done the test-duration for the cold water and warm or hot water tests is usually about 10-12 weeks.
