Metal Detectable Food Grade Plastic
PAR offer metal detectable plastic in both sheet and rod form.
Key features:
- Metal detectable
- High wear resistance
- Good sliding properties
- High bending and impact strength
- Approved for direct contact with food
- Low abrasion
Applications: scrapers, wearstrips and machined components. Commonly used within the food and pharmaceutical industry.
Please note: due to variations in metal detector equipment, we would recommend that you carry out your own tests to ensure the correct sensitivity settings are applied to detect the plastic. Please contact us if you require a sample.
