PolyMag Metal and X-Ray Detectable Plastic Additives

FDA compliant PolyMag Additives impart metal detectability, x-ray contrast, and magnetic susceptibility into plastic moldings to protect consumers from plastic contaminated food products.

Eriez provides PolyMag Additives in a non-dusting pellet, giving molders and extruders the ability to produce metal detectable and x-ray visible plastic parts for food contact applications. Molders can satisfy varying levels of detectability at a cost that is significantly lower than specialty compounds.

Eriez supplies its masterbatch PolyMag Additives to molders of returnable plastic containers, pallets, scoops, scrappers, o-rings, gaskets, conveyor belting, drive belting, bucket elevators, and more. Eriez also provides PolyMag powders for special compounding needs or for use in foam, thermoset rubber, and liquid raw materials. PolyMag Additives are typically included at 10 to 20% loadings in moldings and extrusions.

Resins containing the PolyMag Gray can be pigmented by the molder to darker colors such as blue, gray, green, red, and purple. Economical PolyMag Black is suitable for black applications. Eriez offers the PolyMag masterbatch pellets with various carrier resins including ethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, nylon, acetal, and a flexible elastomer.
