PA 6 MDP

PA – Polyamide

PA 6 MDP

This PA 6 material is modified with added filler to make it detectable with metal detectors, and it is also coloured with blue food-grade pigment. These modifications make the polyamide detectable with standard metal detectors that are commonly used in quality assurance on food production lines. PA6 MDP is available as plastic sheets and bars.
