FDA-Compliant & EU 10/2011 Certified Materials
High-performance engineering plastics designed to meet the strict hygiene, safety and regulatory demands of the food and beverage industry. Our materials are certified for direct and indirect food contact, offering exceptional chemical resistance, low friction and long service life in demanding processing environments.
Modern food and beverage production demands materials that combine hygiene with mechanical performance.
Engineering plastics have become essential in food processing equipment, replacing metals in many applications due to their superior corrosion resistance, lighter weight and inherent non-contaminating properties. From conveyor systems and sealing components to cutting surfaces and packaging machinery, the right polymer selection ensures food safety compliance while reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Our food-grade materials withstand aggressive cleaning agents, steam sterilization and continuous operation without degradation.
Materials tested and certified for direct food contact under FDA 21 CFR 177 regulations, ensuring safe use throughout the food processing chain.
Full compliance with European food contact material regulations, including migration testing and specific migration limits for all components.
Resistant to acids, alkalis, hot water, steam and common CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaning agents used in food and beverage production facilities.
Fluoropolymers like PTFE offer the lowest coefficient of friction of any solid material, preventing product adhesion and ensuring smooth material flow.
Metal-detectable and X-ray visible polymer grades available for HACCP-compliant processing lines, reducing contamination risk.
Inert materials that do not impart taste, odour or colour to food products, maintaining product quality and consumer safety.
We supply a comprehensive range of food-grade engineering plastics, each offering unique properties suited to specific food processing applications.
