OVERVIEW of Nylatron® VMX Food Grade PA6

Nylatron® VMX Polyamide PA6 FG (Food Grade) is a EU 10/2011 and FDA 21 CFR & 177.1500 compliant material containing a metal detectable additive, has been specifically tailored for use in the food processing and packaging industries where it can easily be traced by different detection systems installed to detect contamination of the foodstuffs. Nylatron® VMX PA6 FG presents good mechanical strength, stiffness, impact strength and wear resistance and therefore make this grade especially suited for wear and friction applications in the food Industry.

Applications: Thrust washers, Seals, Rollers, Pulleys

Engineered plastics with visual, metal, and x-ray detectability - Increase safety and efficiency with the VMX (Visual, Metal, X-Ray) portfolio. Our new VMX polymers enhance your food processing capabilities by bringing three-way detectability and dual food compliance (EU and FDA). The range includes four unique polymers - each tailored to meet different performance requirements.

Better performance through a safety-first approach

Food safety is the highest priority for processors and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). Your reputation is banked on it. Plastic contamination in a food product could mean food recalls, legal penalties, brand damage and even bankruptcy.

That's why food safety is always at the top of our agenda when we develop engineering plastics for food contact applications. But we also know that OEMs and processors face further challenges. Food processing speeds continue to increase. This in turn causes increased stresses on equipment, leading to potential failure of components which can risk food contamination in the long run. In order to improve food processing safety, the need for components made from high-performing, detectable polymers has never been greater.
