What are the benefits of NSF-certified powders in food technology?
Die NSF-zertifizierten Bornitrid-Pulver (insbesondere HeBoFill® LL-SP 010
und HeBoFill® LL-SP 050
) bieten in der Lebensmitteltechnik und -verarbeitung mehrere entscheidende Vorteile:
- Sicherheit bei unbeabsichtigtem Lebensmittelkontakt (Kategorie HX-1): Die Pulver besitzen das NSF-Zertifikat in der Kategorie HX-1. Dadurch dürfen sie offiziell als Additive in Schmierstoffen eingesetzt werden, bei denen ein gelegentlicher, unbeabsichtigter Kontakt mit Lebensmitteln auftreten kann, was ihren Einsatz direkt in und an Anlagen der Lebensmittelverarbeitung ermöglicht.
- Physiological safety and expanded approvals: The material is physiologically safe and extremely compatible with seals as well as the plastics commonly used in systems. In addition to NSF certification, the material also holds the necessary FDA and EU approvals for food contact.
- A safe alternative to PTFE with superior lubricating performance: These powders serve as a future-proof alternative to PTFE. They form a stable dry lubricating film that remains intact even under the heaviest loads and in extreme conditions. They also exhibit excellent creep and wetting properties.
- Equipment protection and cost-effectiveness: As lubricant additives, they have been proven to reduce friction, which leads to lower energy consumption in production facilities. The strong wear protection they provide on surfaces also significantly extends the service life (product lifecycle) of components and machinery.
- Versatility right down to the packaging: In addition to their traditional use as lubricants, these fillers can also be used in polyolefin film blowing, which is directly applied to food applications and packaging.
