Ascend Performance Materials Announces Pre-Pigmented Vydyne for Metal Detection
PA66 compound for cable ties and fasteners in industries where foreign material contamination can cause health problems and reputational damage, such as pharmaceutical and food processing plants.
The new products reportedly meet the most stringent performance standards, streamlining the supply chain for cable tie and fastener manufacturers.
“We are always looking for ways to better serve our customers,” said Tim Goossens, head of Ascend’s Cable Ties Division. “This new metal-detectable Vydyne
PA66 compounds eliminate additional processing or masterbatch steps. ”
Both the United States and the European Union have strict performance requirements for materials used in and around food and pharmaceutical processing facilities.
Ascend says it ensures consistent dispersion of metal additives in the polymer matrix so that even small metal particles are clearly visible and can be identified with standard inspection equipment. In tests where different sized cable tie fragments were added to cereal flakes, even the smallest fragments held up at 60
Reliably detected by X-ray imaging using microfocus tubes at kV and 0.3 mA.
Metal Detectable Vydyne
PA66 material is sold globally and is available in two blue grades with high impact strength and low impact strength. In addition to cable ties and fasteners, these two grades target safety-critical applications in other sensitive market segments, such as machined plastic profiles, and any consumable products that require HACCP to manage food safety. HACCP is a food safety management system based on hazard analysis and critical control points.
