TECACOMP PA66 ID blue 1014958
Detectable PA66 compound with high toughness.
The TECACOMP PA66 ID compound has been specially developed for the food industry. Thanks to a metal based filler, even small plastic particles are reliably detected by metal detectors. Products contaminated with foreign bodies can be sorted out. TECACOMP PA66 ID blue, based on the polymer PA66, is additionally enriched with impact modifier and features a good combination of toughness and strength.
The compound is reliably detected by metal and X-ray detectors. For better visual detection, it is coloured blue (similar to RAL 5003). The detectable compounds increase the detection probability of plastic fragments (for example, from cable ties or slaughterhouse consumables such as mouth or weasant clips) in foodstuffs as part of the IFS/BRC risk analyses. Customers from the food industry use the compound to strengthen their HACCP concept, increase food safety and reduce the risk of image damage due to contamination of their products by foreign bodies.
The formulation with medium filling levels achieves the Ensinger Detection Level MID and has been tested by RONDOTEST GmbH & Co. KG. The special filler concept prevents surface corrosion (e.g. under salt spray test). The polyamides are characterised by outstanding wear resistance, a good coefficient of friction, very good temperature resistance and impact strength. Other properties include high mechanical damping properties, good sliding properties and good chemical resistance. The compounds are approved for food contact (FDA and EU 10/2011).
TECACOMP PA66 ID blue is available as a compound. Tensile test bars and sample plates (80 x 80 x 3 mm) are available for tests. For detection tests directly at the end customer's plant, an Ensinger Detection Kit can be helpful.
