Food-grade materials are used for a variety of manufacturing and packaging operations. To keep the packaged foods as pure as possible, food grade plastic is utilized. High density polyethylene, or HDPE, is a common material used to make food-grade plastic containers. It is suitable for a variety of meals and other items due to its high chemical resistance qualities. For instance, HDPE is used to make the majority of juice, milk, and five-gallon food buckets.
The Global Food grade Chemical resistant plastics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Many food grade plastics are developed with particular X-Ray and metal detectable components, as well as being blue in accordance with food processing industry regulations for improved visual detectability, to help prevent recalls and contaminations.
Modern Plastics offers materials suitable for food grade applications that are heat resistant, chemical resistant, and highly wear resistant. Amorphous thermoplastic high performance polymers known as polyamide-imides (PAI) have excellent chemical resistance, great thermal stability, and outstanding wear qualities. They can withstand temperatures of up to 275°C.
PBT polymer is especially well suited for uses in the food industry because of its outstanding resistance to caustic and chlorine-based cleaning agents. Food grade PBT is perfect for machined parts in food processing equipment and can satisfy the majority of agency criteria for food contact compliance. Due to its numerous chemical resistances as well as other qualities, PBT is particularly beneficial for applications involving valve parts and pump housings.
PEEK, a special semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic, has good dimensional stability, excellent chemical compatibility, and is simple to process. Plastics that are lightweight and adaptable, like PEEK, have a long history of success in the processing and packaging of food.
Their effectiveness is based on a number of material advantages that are utilized even at elevated temperatures. Among them are strong chemical resistance and excellent mechanical qualities.
