Food Safe Metal Detectable SLS/MJF Nylon PA12

Nylons

Food safeStrongUV resistantDurable

X-ray Metal Detectable PA12 was developed by the Danish Technological Institute and is certified food safe and approved as a food contact material. The material was developed to replace parts that would otherwise have to be CNC Milled or Injection Molded. The material is strong, highly detailed and can be used in a vast variety of applications.

Glass Blasted & Vapor Smoothed

1 color

Smooth and detailed surface finish.

Deburred, Glass Blasted & Vapor Smoothed

1 color

This finish is removing all imperfections, polishes the part completely and adds a smooth, polished surface finish.

Glass Blasted

1 color

Smooth surface with a matte appearance, which can reduce friction and improve the part's aesthetics and tactile feel. Approved for food contact due to the surface treatment.

Deburred & Glass Blasted

1 color

Smooth, matte surface with a subtle texture, creating a sleek, non-reflective appearance that is visually appealing.
