A new series of TPEs positioned as a solution for industrial applications requiring NSF 51 approval in the commercial food equipment sector with adhesion to PP is newly available from Kraiburg TPEAmericas. These grades boast smooth haptics and are colorable, free from animal ingredients, and FDA compliant.
Typical applications include seals/gaskets, valves, flexible connectors, membranes, food-contact hoses and tubes.

These requirements are based on US FDA Regulations. We are confident that this new series will propel the NSF 51 approval on our customers’ end products.”
