With its semi-finished product, TECAMID 6 ID blue, Ensinger has now extended its range of special plastics for the food industry. Like other materials from its ID product line, the new polyamide product comes with a detectable filler.

If a component made of this material should be damaged during the production process, any fragments present can be rapidly identified using metal detectors within the framework of standardised process controls.

The blue colouration of the material also provides the assurance of easy optical detection.
