Blue plastics for food grade contact

Lightweight and versatile plastics have been used in plastics processing and packaging for many years. For components made of structural plastics that come into direct contact with food, the strictest quality requirements must be met with regard to the materials used. This is particularly the case when it must be demonstrated that food contact does not lead to physiological damage. 
In the case of plastics, the most important objective is to control and limit the possible transfer of substances from the material to the food in order to prevent harmful consequences. For this reason, Ensinger assigns special priority to the production of plastics that have been specially developed for the food industry. In addition to a wide range of food-compliant materials, we also offer optically detectable, blue-colored plastics that further enhance safety in food production. They also comply with international regulations for the food industry.

Ensinger also offers a special line of metal detectable stock shapes: the "ID" family of materials and the "Ultra Detectable" or "UD" family of materials. In addition to the blue color, these materials offer even better protection. 

All compounds produced for the food industry can be adjusted with customized blue shades. Due to the filler concept, the compounds are also suitable for both inductive and X-ray detection. Enclosed you will find an overview of all available compounds with the corresponding colors.
