Proven Quality as a Component of Safe Packaging Systems<\/span><\/h3>

In the food and packaging industry, the safety of packaging systems largely depends on the quality of the sealing compounds used. They determine shelf life, product protection, and process stability during filling. <\/p>

ATF Ammendorfer Plastisole has been developing PVC plastisols for decades that are tested and certified for direct food contact. Each formulation is developed, tested, and documented in our own laboratory to ensure consistent material properties across many production batches. <\/p>

Essential parameters such as elasticity, sealing effect, and thermal resistance are specifically adapted to the respective process conditions, for example, from cold and hot filling to pasteurization and sterilization. This creates systems that deliver reproducible results under real operating conditions and contribute to process safety in industrial packaging. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Regulation-Compliant Materials with Documented Safety<\/span><\/h3>

In food contact applications, material conformity is an essential component of product safety. ATF Ammendorfer Plastisole formulates sealing compounds that comply with all relevant European and international requirements, including EU Regulation 10\/2011, FDA regulations, and BfR recommendations. <\/p>

Each batch is analyzed, validated, and documented in our own laboratory to ensure full traceability and consistent quality. The compounds are designed to prevent the migration of undesirable substances and to maintain stable functional properties even under thermal and chemical stress. This results in a continuously controlled material process that combines safety, standard conformity, and industrial reliability. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Closure Systems with Consistent Performance<\/span><\/h3>

In automated filling processes, sealing compounds must meet a wide range of requirements, from mechanical resilience to chemical resistance. ATF Ammendorfer Plastisole develops PVC plastisols whose viscosity, hardness, and composition are specifically tailored to the respective closure system, whether twist-off caps, aluminum, or crown cork closures. <\/p>

The materials ensure precise processing and consistent performance in continuous production processes. Through close coordination with technical teams, defined laboratory approvals, and short response times, process parameters can be quickly adjusted, and operations kept stable. The result is a controlled, reproducible manufacturing process with materials that deliver consistent results in all production environments. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Reliability through Technical Expertise<\/span><\/h3>

Food contact places the highest demands on material expertise, responsibility, and documentation. ATF Ammendorfer Plastisole combines many years of experience in formulating PVC plastisols with a deep understanding of regulatory requirements, testing methods, and industrial processes. <\/p>

In cooperation with independent testing institutes, formulations are regularly reviewed, validated, and further developed. Each adjustment is transparently documented and recorded in an auditable manner to create materials that not only comply with applicable standards but also build trust through their consistent quality and form the basis for long-term partnerships. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\n \n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n \n <\/span>\n \n \n How is the Suitability of Sealing Compounds for Food Contact Tested? <\/span>\n\n <\/h3>\n\n
\n

Each formulation is tested according to the strict requirements of EU Regulation 10\/2011, FDA standards (Food and Drug Administration), and BfR guidelines (German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment). These tests include comprehensive migration, sensory, and stability tests to ensure that no undesirable substances migrate into the food and that the materials remain stable even under temperature or pressure stress. All results are fully documented, archived, and made traceable \u2013 a crucial factor for audits and certifications along the supply chain. <\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n\n \n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n \n <\/span>\n \n \n Can Formulations be Customized for Specific Fill Products? <\/span>\n\n <\/h3>\n\n
\n

Yes! Sealing compounds are precisely tailored to the requirements of the respective fill product. We consider parameters such as pH value, fat content, alcohol content, acidity, or processing temperature. Viscosity, Shore hardness, and additive systems are also specifically modified to ensure optimal sealing, chemical resistance, and release. This results in compounds that are precisely tailored to the application, for example, from carbonated beverages to fatty dairy products. <\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n\n \n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n \n <\/span>\n \n \n What Temperature Ranges Can the Sealing Compounds Withstand? <\/span>\n\n <\/h3>\n\n
\n

Our compounds are developed for use in a wide range of temperature and process conditions: from cold and hot filling to pasteurization and sterilization processes. Depending on the formulation, they remain dimensionally stable even at temperatures above 120 \u00b0C and permanently retain their sealing function. At the same time, they ensure reliable recovery capability during temperature changes, which is a crucial criterion for multiple opening and closing cycles. <\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n\n \n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n \n <\/span>\n \n \n How is Quality Ensured across Different Batches? <\/span>\n\n <\/h3>\n\n
\n

Consistent quality is ensured through a multi-stage quality assurance system: Each batch undergoes defined laboratory tests, release processes, and retention sample controls. All production steps are traceable by batch and raw material, allowing for a clear understanding at any time of which components a compound consists of and under what conditions it was manufactured. Only batches that meet all internal and external testing criteria are released for delivery. <\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

\n\n \n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n\n \n <\/path><\/svg> <\/span>\n \n <\/span>\n \n \n Can Existing Materials be Replaced by ATF Compounds? <\/span>\n\n <\/h3>\n\n
\n

Yes! Existing sealing materials can be easily replaced by ATF compounds. To do this, we first analyze the existing formulation and its application conditions to then develop a functionally compatible alternative. These new compounds can be integrated in a process-neutral manner, meaning production parameters such as machine settings, curing temperatures, or filling processes remain unchanged. This enables a smooth transition without extensive retooling or production interruptions. <\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
