Victrex

Most food processing equipment is over-engineered with metal because that's what the original design called for. Nobody went back to ask whether it was still the right answer. Metal corrodes. It flakes under repeated CIP cycles. It adds weight that drives up energy and handling costs. And it creates contamination risk that becomes a quality issue downstream. VICTREX FG™ PEEK eliminates those failure modes. 70% lighter than steel. Continuous temperature resistance to 260°C. Full chemical resistance to aggressive cleaning agents. And PFAS-free, with certifications across major global food contact standards. One-shot injection moulding cuts secondary processing entirely. The question isn't whether PEEK can replace metal in your application. It's why the original spec hasn't been revisited. #PEEK #FoodContact #WaterContact #PFAS #Coffee

PFAS aren't just an environmental issue any more. They're a liability sitting inside your supply chain. Fluoropolymer coatings used for chemical resistance in food contact components are under direct regulatory pressure across the EU and US. The question isn't whether restrictions will tighten. It's whether your current material spec will survive them. PFAS don't break down. They accumulate in food and water. Regulators are catching up faster than most procurement teams realise. VICTREX FG™ polymers are PFAS-free at the chemistry level. No intentional addition. No manufacturing by-products. The same chemical resistance your application demands, without the compliance exposure. Get ahead of it now, or respond to it later. The engineers already making this switch have made their choice. #PEEK #FoodContact #WaterContact #PFAS #Coffee

The challenge in food and beverage processing isn't finding a compliant material. There are plenty of those. The challenge is finding one that stays compliant as regulations evolve, holds up under repeated sterilisation cycles, and doesn't become a supply chain liability as PFAS restrictions tighten. That's the bar VICTREX FG™ polymers were built to clear. Proven performance in food and water contact applications, compliant with major regulations today, and designed without PFAS from the ground up. Compliant now. Defensible later.

One non-compliant component can hold up an entire product launch. In coffee and beverage equipment, compliance risk isn't just in the obvious parts. It's in the flow metres, check valves, CIP systems, drive gears, seals, and bushings that rarely get scrutinised until there's a problem. VICTREX FG™ polymers cover all of it. PFAS-free, compliant with major food and water contact regulations, and proven across fluid handling, pumps, bearings, and beyond. Specify once. Cover the system. #PEEK #FoodContact #WaterContact #PFAS #Coffee

Your coffee machine passed the last compliance audit. But was your polymer material selection based on today's regulations, or last decade's? Food contact legislation is not static. EU 10/2011, FDA 21 CFR, WRAS, KTW-BWGL, and 3-A Sanitary Standards are constantly updated and becoming more stringent. Most engineers select materials based on what worked before, not where regulators are heading. By the time a non-compliant material creates an issue, it is already a production or recall problem. VICTREX FG polymers are tested and certified across all major food and water contact regulations globally. Your design choices are covered today and tomorrow. If you are still selecting materials based on legacy specs, it might be time for a closer look. https://lnkd.in/gPxuduSm #PEEK #foodcontact #watercontact #PFAS #PFAS-free #coffee

Most food processing engineers assume PFAS-free means a performance trade-off. It doesn't. The real risk isn't in switching materials. It's in staying with fluoropolymers while global PFAS regulations tighten, derogations expire, and supply chains get disrupted. VICTREX FG™ polymers are already PFAS-free and meet stringent food and water contact requirements, no compromise on mechanical performance.
