Controlled Migration Thermoplastic Elastomers for Food Contact & Packaging Applications

Ask an expert

In-depth investigations into 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 maximize the application and design possibilities for component design. Risk minimization and time savings through accurate calculation of migration behavior offer optimization potential.

These specially developed materials offer you the following advantages:

 

  • Very low migration potential – depending on the series, also suitable for fatty food contact
  • Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011
  • US FDA CFR 21 formulation compliance
  • California Proposition 65
  • GB 4806-2016
  • REACH, RoHs
  • Free of phthalates, bisphenol A, and latex
  • Free of heavy metals
    Recyclable
  • Support and advice on global migration issues
  • EN71-3
  • Processing in multi-component injection molding
  • Comprehensive service, including regulatory issues
  • High-quality surface finish
