Lightweight and versatile technical plastics have been successfully used in the processing and packaging of foods for many years. Engineering plastic components that come into direct contact with food have stringent quality requirements on the materials used, particularly when it comes to verifying that no physiological harm will result from contact.
For plastic materials, the main goal is to control and limit possible migration of substances from the material into the food to avoid any harmful influence. This is why Ensinger gives such high priority to the production of semi finished products specially developed for the food industry.
In addition to the wide range of product compliance requirements for food contact parts, blue detectable plastics further enhance the safety of food production processes, and are in full compliance with international regulations.
