High-Performance Polymers in the Production of Food

BIEGLO – High Performance Polymers has several high-temperature plastics in their portfolio that are suitable for the application in the food industry. Especially the program of PEEK granules, compounds, and semi-finished goods are all certified according to FDA and EU 10/2011. PEEK is extremely resistant against sour and alkalic cleaning supplies, as well as against steam. A popular use is also CIP-cleaning.

The self-lubricating PEEK can also be used to produce bearings, assembly lines, gears and bushings. Moreover, through coatings the friction and wear can be notably reduced. Through specific compounding from PEEK, the efficiency and quality of final products can be increased. To improve food security, colour compounds can be equipped with metal-detectable additives.

Noteworthy is also that, along with PEEK, BIEGLO can also offer PPSU. This material is translucent and is used for baby bottles, kitchen containers or similar. It has a continuous working temperature of 160°C and is easy to sterilize.

The ASP-Plastics GmbH (a subsidiary of BIEGLO) offers semi-finished goods made of technical polymers, such as PET, POM, or UHMW-PE. Additionally here, food certificates, colors, and metal-detectability can be supplied.

BIEGLO exhibits in October at the K-Fair in Dusseldorf.

Über die BIEGLO GmbH

BIEGLO is a distribution company for high-performance plastics from Hamburg. We are the exclusive distributor of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) CoPEEK from Panjin Zhongrun and also distribute Saint-Gobain’s polyimide (PI) Meldin®. In addition, polyamide-imide (PAI) and polyetherimide (PEI) are also part of our range.
Internationality is important to BIEGLO. We find many customers abroad and meanwhile we can also rely on an international network of suppliers in order to be able to supply popular products. In addition, the web shops PEEK-shop.de, PI-shop.de, PAI-shop.de and PEI-shop.de belong to BIEGLO.
Our CoPEEK comes from Panjin Zhongrun from China. We can offer it as granules or powders in different viscosities. But also PEEK semi-finished products such as plates, tubes, rods, filaments and foils are in our product range. Other semi-finished products such as shrink tubing, compressor valve plates and fittings can also be supplied. PEEK has a continuous service temperature of 240 ° C and very good chemical resistance. In addition, PEEK is self-lubricating.
Meldin®s PI comes from Saint Gobain and is made in the USA. We can supply Meldin® semi-finished products in the form of plates and bars, as well as Direct-Formed parts. The continuous service temperature is 315 ° C. In addition, we can offer thermoplastic PI powder and PI filaments and fibers from China. Here, the continuous service temperature is 260 ° C.
PAI has a glass transition temperature of 277 ° C and can also be used in freezing temperatures of up to -270 ° C. PAI offers incomparable mechanical strength and is more impact-resistant than other polymers even at very low temperatures. At the moment BIEGLO can offer extruded PAI rods with a diameter up to 250mm and different plates. PAI semi-finished products are also available in reinforced grades.
Among the high performance polymers PEI belongs to the cheaper thermoplastics. PEI is an amorphous plastic with a glass transition temperature of 217 ° C and a high dielectric strength. In addition, PEI semi-finished products offer inherent fire resistance and a very low smoke development rate. BIEGLO can offer solid rods with a diameter of 5mm to 100mm and plates with a thickness of 3mm to 100mm.
