KRAIBURG TPE is proud to announce that specific TPE compounds come with a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) to meet the GuoBiao (GB) standards in the People’s Republic of China.

Beyond the aesthetics, product quality encompasses safety to ensure the health of end users. In the topic of safety regulations are food contact materials, which are found in common items that we use on a daily basis. These materials ensure the requirements of safety when used in products that come into contact with food, like packaging materials and containers; or if put into the mouth, like toys and cutlery.

KRAIBURG TPE, a global TPE manufacturer of a wide range of thermoplastic elastomer products and custom solutions that cater to multiple industries, is committed to meeting global safety standards for food contact materials.
