Focusing on the safety and health benefits
Consumers are increasingly focusing on the safety and health benefits of goods and materials when making purchasing decisions. This means manufacturers have to ensure compliance with national and international food safety regulations in order to attract more customers. To meet this demand on a global level, KRAIBURG TPE now extends its offering of Food Contact TPEs with a new THERMOLAST K series.
A shift in consumer behavior can be observed, Today’s buyers are increasingly taking responsibility for their own well-being by making informed decisions about the safety and health advantages of the goods and materials they buy. This change does not happen by chance. Toxic chemicals leaching from compounds or materials are major concerns in the manufacturing and consumer goods industry. That is why food contact safe materials such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are gaining popularity. The change has far-reaching consequences for manufacturers. As a result, they are driven to ensure compliance with national and international food safety regulations to attract more customers. Enter KRAIBURG TPE, a global TPE manufacturer of thermoplastic elastomer products and custom-engineered TPE solutions for diverse consumer product applications, offering food contact safe and safety regulation compliant TPEs.

It also features properties such as adhesion to PP, optimized flow, and hardness ranging from 30 to 90 Shore A. The materials are easily processable by processes such as injection molding, extrusion and 3D printing. Furthermore, the compounds in the Food Contact TPE series are free from animal ingredients, heavy metals, phthalates, bisphenol A, and latex, accommodating to the production of sustainable goods.
“Ensuring consumer safety is crucial for today’s manufacturers of consumer products,” states Lee Jia Yin, product developer at KRAIBURG TPE. “KRAIBURG TPE’s new Food Contact TPE series satisfies food safety material requirements and complies with REACH, SVHC and RoHS.
