Plasticiser additive PolyMag

Eriez PolyMag Additives impart metal detectability, X-Ray contrast, and magnetic susceptibility into plastic moldings to prevent plastic contamination from reaching the consumer. Molders can satisfy varying levels of detectability at a cost substantially less than specialty compounds. This eliminates the need to buy minimum quantities of special resins and carry excess material inventory. Major brand owners, retailers and restaurant chains insist that food processors utilize plastic and rubber articles that are Metal and X-Ray Detectable. This has become part of many company's HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) programs. More recently, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires Agricultural Producers, Food Processors & Packers to implement Hazard Analysis & Risk-Based Preventative Controls (HARPC) to prevent physical contaminates like glass, metal, wood & plastic from entering the market. The FDA considers contaminates greater than .275” (7mm) in length to present a hazard. Growers, packers & food processors are using their existing metal detector and x-ray inspection system with detectable plastics to prevent plastic contaminated foods from reaching consumers.
