In many regions there are extensive rules governing materials and articles that may contact food.  Such regulations usually stipulate which chemicals are permitted to be used in plastic articles that will contact food, and may set restrictions on permitted use levels, or levels of chemicals that may migrate into the food stuffs.

(API) of Gainesville, Texas, a manufacturer of plastic pipe components, saw an opportunity to design a flapper valve that could improve upon traditional brass valves and enable non-corrosive, all-plastic piping systems. Don Houston of API said, “In addition to all these drawbacks, brass valves have to be joined to plastic piping with steel fittings. However, we didn’t want to make the material any denser than absolutely necessary, as more fillers mean higher costs.

One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use. The products help reduce material use by up to 20% depending on part geometry and wall thickness. They also improve the visual appearance of plastic components by reducing sink marks.
