Plastic components in the food industry: what you need to know

When it comes to the food industry, it is essential that all materials that come into contact with food meet certain requirements. We offer a range of different plastic materials that are suitable for use in the food industry. But what makes these materials safe to use?

One of the most important factors is that the material must meet the requirements of FDA and EU 10/2011. These regulations specify which materials are allowed to be used in contact with food. We ensure that all our materials meet these requirements, so you can feel safe when using them in your business.

Approved materials

We offer a number of different materials that are approved for use in the food industry. These include PE-HD, PP, POM-C and PA6G. These materials are all made from high-quality raw materials and meet all relevant requirements and standards. But what sets these materials apart, and which one is best suited for your specific application?

PE-HD is a very durable material that is resistant to chemicals and wear. It is also easy to clean and maintain, making it an excellent choice for use in the food industry. PP is another material that is very suitable for use in contact with food. It is a cost-effective material that is easy to process and shape.

Certificates and documentation

When you order materials from us, you can also order certificates and documentation that certify that the material meets all relevant requirements and standards. This can be important if you need to show documentation to authorities or customers. How do you order these certificates, and what do they cost?

We offer a range of different certificates, including FDA and EU 10/2011 certificates. These certificates certify that the material meets all relevant requirements and standards, and can be important for showing to authorities or customers. Our customers can easily order certificates via our website, or contact our customer service for more information.

Common applications

We have many customers in the food industry who use our materials in a range of different applications. A common use is the manufacture of cutting boards, which must be made from a material that is safe to use in contact with food. Our materials meet all relevant requirements and standards, and are therefore very suitable for use in this context.

Other common applications include the manufacture of components for conveyor belts, which must be made from a material that is durable and easy to clean. We also have customers who use our materials for the manufacture of sieves and containers, which must be made from a material that is safe to use in contact with food.

But what makes our materials so suitable for use in the food industry? One of the most important factors is that our materials have a high Shore hardness, for example 65 Shore D. This makes them very resistant to chemicals and wear, and therefore very suitable for use in the food industry.

Practical tips

When you choose materials for your business in the food industry, it is essential that you choose a material that meets all relevant requirements and standards. But how do you know which material is best suited for your specific application? A good starting point is to contact our customer service, which can provide you with advice and guidance on which material is most suitable for your specific application.

It is also essential that you follow all relevant rules and standards when using materials in contact with food.

But what happens if you do not follow these rules and standards?

If you do not follow the rules and standards, it can lead to serious consequences, such as fines or even closure of the business. Therefore, it is essential that you always follow the rules and standards, and ensure that you have all the documentation and certification needed.
