Magnetic Detection and X Ray Additives

Products to impart detectability to plastics, rubber, and other polymers

Discover avanSAFE DETECTOR MB TPU

avanSAFE DETECTOR MB TPU is a TPU-formulated MB stainless steel alloy, designed to impart detectability, by means of metallic, magnetic, or X-ray systems, to different plastics, rubber, and other polymers.

The impartation of this property allows for easy detection in containers, profiles or other elements produced with this additive, it can also be used in food and beverage processing facilities. Therefore, this solution prevents contamination of unwanted plastic materials in processed foods and other intended purposes, such as plastic recycling.

Main Characteristics:
  • Food Grade (EU regulations 10/2011)
  • Detectable by metallic, magnetic and x ray systems.
  • Suitable for any color formulation.
  • Odorless and non-migratory.
  • Suitable for induction heating technology.

The following table shows the detection thresholds based on the additive dosage:

3*3*1.5 mm 4*4*1.5 mm 5*5*1.5 mm 6*6*1.5 mm 7*7*1.5 mm 7*3*1.5 mm
