New igus tribo polymers for food contact
The detection of foreign bodies plays a major
role in the production and packaging of food to
ensure the perfect quality of the products and
to prevent contamination.
Therefore, igus has now developed the
tribologically optimised plain bearing material
iglidur FC 180 (‘FC’ means food contact)
specifically for food contact.
The new material is visually detectable by its
blue colour as well as by metal detectors due
to the inclusion of appropriate, food-compatible
additives. In this way, broken pieces can be
quickly detected and removed in the event of
damage to the system.
As a result, the purity of the product is secured
and costly product recalls are prevented. The
new material complies with the specifications
of the FDA and EU Regulation 10/2011 and can
therefore be used in direct food contact. “Its
low moisture absorption and lubrication-free
property are additional criteria that speak in
favour of the optimum suitability of the material
in applications in the food technology, beverage
and packaging industries,” explains Lars Braun,
head of packaging industry management at
igus.
