This brand new FDA approval, defined in FCN# 1740, expands the scope of applications for Rilsan Clear G850 Rnew, previously certified by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) and EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). This transparent polyamide, already well-known in optics and consumer electronics, can be used in home healthcare, food processing and household equipment.

Rilsan Clear G850 Rnew polyamide is more transparent than glass, lighter and more flexible than polycarbonate, and completely bisphenol-A (BPA) and bisphenol-S (BPS) free, which make it an outstanding material for applications where consumer health and rigorous food safety are required.

Used for several years in optics, electronics and industrial equipment (filter casing for example), for its high level of performance, Rilsan Clear G850 Rnew, polyamide along with other Rilsan Clear grades can now be selected by consumer equipment manufacturers for applications such as boilers, coffee machines, mixers, multicookers, and food steamers, in addition to related components like tubing and gaskets.
