BRIDGEPORT, Conn., March 29, 2010 — Modern Plastics offers a complete line of plastic product materials for the food and beverage industry. These products are FDA Approved and meet other food and beverage callout standards.

TECAFORM AH ID: Gain more security during food processing! This new metal detecting acetal plastic material is used in the manufacture of machines for food processing. Fields of applications include production of meat, sausages, fruit juices, pasta, pastries – also, food packaging and pharmaceuticals packaging. TECAFORM AH ID is FDA-compliant (and 2002/72/EC) and is chemical-resistant for typical food applications and cleaning agents such as POM-C. A typical application of TECAFORM AH ID would be a wiper blade for food processing. Color is grey.

TYGON® Beverage Tubing: Formulation B-44-3 is the most widely used flexible tubing and is specially formulated for transferring a wide variety of beverages, including soft drinks, fruit juices, flavored teas and bottled water. In virtually all cases, Tygon® Beverage Tubing will not affect the taste or odor of product transferred through it, while its excellent non-wetting properties facilitate complete drainage and permit simple flush-cleaning. It is clear as glass, lightweight, flexible and meets FDA, 3-A and NSF criteria. Modern Plastics also carries TYGON® Pressure Formulation B-44-4X I.B., which handles four times the pressure of non-reinforced tubing. Typical applications include cosmetic production, food and dairy processing, beverage dispensing, water purification systems, coolant lines and instrumentation and air supply.

King Cutting Colors®: King Cutting Colors® is a NSF-certified family of color-coded cutting board sheets in five different industry standard colors to help combat cross-contamination. A textured matte finish and solid surface provide a stable and sanitary work area. It is available in large sheets that can be cut to fit most countertops. Bacteria, odors and cleaning fluids wash completely off. Blue is for seafood, yellow for raw poultry, green for vegetables, tan for cooked meats, and red for red meat.
