Nylatron® VMX Food Grade PA6

Nylatron® VMX Food Grade PA6 shapes have been specifically developed for use in the food processing and packaging industries, where they offer three-way detectability (Visual, Metal, X-ray) for easy traceability via contamination detection systems -- presenting a huge benefit to global food manufacturers who import and export across the world. This particular nylon grade possesses a unique combination of excellent mechanical strength, stiffness, impact strength, and wear resistance, while also meeting EU and FDA compliance requirements for plastics in contact with food.
