LDPE, HDPE, PP, hard PVC and PETG are physiologically inert and are suitable for the appropriate packaging and storage of foodstuffs. They fulfil the valid German regulations and the EG- Directive 90/ 128 together with the corresponding supplements EEC 92/ 39, 93/ 9 and 95/ 3.
Testing the suitability of our products and the materials used in their manufacture for their intended use is the responsibility of our customers. This is the reason why it is not possible to derive a binding warranty for any particular properties or for the suitability of a product or material for a specific purpose from advice provided by us.
Polyolefins (PE): LDPE, HDPE, PP
•physiologically inert
•flexible and inherently stable
•good chemical resistance
•shatter-proof
•PP is autoclavable
Polypropylen (PP)
•rigid and inherently stable
•very good chemical resistance
•features a very good resistance against tension cracking
•in thin layers almost transparent, thicker layers are trans- lucent up to opaque white
Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE)
•flexible, tough and shatter-proof
•in thin layers almost transparent, thicker layers are trans- lucent up to opaque white
•resistant to water, aqueous solutions and most chemicals
•excellent water vapour resistance
High-density Polyethylen (HDPE)
•rigid and shatter-proof
•slightly transparent in thin layers, in thicker layers weakly trans- lucent to opaque white
•resistant to water, aqueous solutions and most chemicals
•excellent water vapour resistance
Polyvinyle chloride (PVC hard)
•physialogically inert
•crystal-clear or transparent brown
•good chemical resistance
•extremely rigid, high breaking resistance
•high transparency
•resistant to water, aqueous solutions, alcohols and oils
•slight gas permeability, e.g. to oxygen
•adequate water vapour resistance in most cases
Co- Polyester (PETG) (Polyethylen Terphtalat Glycole)
•physiologically inert
•flexible and inherently stable
