ACETAL TECAFORM UD BLUE
Tecaform AH UD Blue is a food grade plastic that is an Ultra Detectable acetal copolymer designed specifically for food contact applications. High speed food production lines detect particulate matter in the food product in one of three ways; using optical scanners that can readily detect blue materials, metal detection equipment, or X-ray equipment. Tecaform AH UD blue is the first multi-detectable plastic that will show up, regardless of the scanning method being used. In addition to food processing, technology and engineering, other target industries include conveyer technology, packaging and paper machinery, and pharmaceutical industry.
