New Regulation (EU) 10/2011 is a further development of Directive 2002/72/EC for plastics materials in contact with food, and specifies much stricter test conditions for migration. Within the EU, compliance is required for all food contact materials.
Quadrant has launched the first FDA-approved and Atex-tested thermoplastic with permanent antistatic performance for pharmaceutical and food applications.
New ultra-high-molecular weight polyethylene Tivar CleanStat White is unique in combining good electrostatic dissipation (ESd), excellent wear resistance and food contact compliancy in a neutral/white coloured material.
“Tivar CleanStat White is a premium product which combines required properties and traceability demands for a plastic solution for pharmaceutical and food processing and packaging,” said Ron Denoo, global director research & development, Quadrant EPP. “This is a major advance for processing applications tailored to the specific demands of these highly sensitive industries, and Quadrant invested considerable resources to develop and achieve this material innovation with a balanced cost/performance ratio for our customers.”
