Food Safe SLS/MJF Nylon PA12

About

Food safe nylon PA12 is PA12 made from a powder grade certified for food contact, for example under EU 10/2011 or FDA 21 CFR rules.

It keeps PA12's balance of strength and flexibility, low water absorption, and resistance to oils, fats, and cleaning agents, but softens under load at around 85 °C.

The certification applies to the material, not automatically to every finished part: surface, colorants, temperature, fat content, and contact time all matter, so confirm the documentation depending on intended use.

Food safe nylon PA12 is commonly used for grippers, production-line tooling, and kitchen tools.
