HC Plastics News:

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has licensed Evonik's microcrystalline polyamide TROGAMID® CX 7323 for food contact in its publication, Food Contact Materials Notice.

This allows the specialty chemicals company to offer a clear, high performance polymer with excellent temperature and chemical resistance as an alternative to BPA-free applications in the global food industry.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also issued its approval.

Evonik A BPA-free transparent material approved by the FDA and EFSA for food contact

Evonik has been providing TROGAMID® CX, a proven, permanently transparent polyamide for sports, leisure and automotive applications, as well as the cosmetics, medical technology and optics sectors for many years.

As a lens material for sports and ski goggles, this high performance polymer provides complete transparency, excellent UV protection and excellent mechanical strength, as well as excellent chemical resistance, such as resistance to moisturizers and hair sprays. Chemical substances.

In the automotive sector, TROGAMID® CX is a widely used decorative material with its high transparency and scratch resistance.

Recently approved by the FDA and EFSA for use in the food contact field, the TROGAMID® CX molding compound is available as a material option for bisphenol A-free materials for coffee machines, blenders/mixers, containers and steamers. On the transparent part.

The special microcrystalline structure allows TROGAMIDCX 7323 to achieve a perfect balance between high transparency and temperature and chemical resistance to prevent the formation of tensile cracks.

This transparent polyamide is easy to process in an injection molding process, and can be converted into an ultra-transparent film without affecting the yield by creating a thin and complex design that attracts attention.

Evonik has more than 50 years of experience in the development and production of high performance polymers, and the company's extensive product portfolio provides solutions for applications in virtually every industry sector.

On October 16-20, 2018, Evonik (Booth: A4-4117) will exhibit more high-performance polymer materials at the Fakuma exhibition in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

Half-Ball Lens

Ball lens are highly transparent spheres made of optical glasses.They are used as fiber interconnects in telecom and expanded beam connectors.Large ball lenses have been successfully used as collectors in LED lighting systems and medical devices.They have high coupling efficiency and should be much easier to align than traditional lenses due to its physical shape.Fused silica balls are ideal for the most demanding ball lens applications in the ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared spectra. Sapphire balls has superior optical transmission qualities. Ruby Balls are easier to see and therefore easier to handle for physical applications.
