FOOD PACKAGING

Meet the needs of food packaging

In-depth investigations of the migration behavior of TPE with different raw material compositions have enabled us to develop application-specific compounds for food packaging. These new TPE developments expand the application and design possibilities for compound flexibility to a maximum. Risk minimization and time saving by exact calculation of the migration behavior give optimization potential.

Target applications of these special compounds:

food boxes
dosing valves and other applications in contact with food, especially fatty foods

ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE

Large processing window to realize filigree sealing geometries
Compounds of the CM1 and CM2 series are meeting the following requirements
- Regulation (EU) No 10/2011
- US FDA CFR 21
- China GB4806-2016
EN71-3
Multi-component injection molding with polypropylene and polyethylene

REACH and RoHS compliant
High quality surfaces
Adhesion to PP
No latex, PVC, phthalates or heavy metals added
Diverse coloring options possible
Recyclable
Comprehensive service with regard to regulatory issues
Established and commercialized in various packaging solutions, such as dosing valves and gaskets

PROOF OF RECYCLABILITY

On behalf of KRAIBURG TPE, the independent testing and certification body Institute cyclos-HTP has successfully investigated and confirmed the compatibility of selected TPS materials in the recycling stream for high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP).

Previously, it was assumed that TPS was not recyclable in the waste stream. This assumption could be disproved for selected products from KRAIBURG TPE and therefore no longer applies to compounds from the competence leader. According to the latest findings, compatibility in the PP and HDPE stream with products from KRAIBURG TPE has been proven and confirmed. This unique selling point is continuously being extended to the product range.

WHITEPAPER: GUIDELINE FOR MIGRATION TESTING OF TPS

In this whitepaper, interested parties learn everything about the suitability of materials for food contact applications and the required migration testing in terms of Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011.

However, testing with the intended food simulants is not feasible in every case, or in some cases the testing leads to the destruction of the material or overestimates the actual migration.

Testing laboratories in particular benefit from the knowledge gained by KRAIBURG TPE, which makes it easier to detect the migration of TPS in fatty foods.

WHITEPAPER - COMPATIBILITY IN THE PP AND HDPE STREAM WITH PRODUCTS FROM KRAIBURG TPE PROVEN AND CONFIRMED

The independent testing and certification institute Institut cyclos-HTP has successfully tested and confirmed the compatibility of selected SBC-based TPE materials in the recycling stream for HDPE and PP.
Compatibility in the PP and HDPE stream has now been proven and confirmed with products from KRAIBURG TPE.

The challenge is to combine the processability in injection molding with the very low potential of releasing substances, which is indispensable for fatty foods applications. At the same time, the materials must be recyclable
