The EU directive 2024/3190 of December 19, 2024, which came into force on January 20, 2025, comprehensively restricts the use of bisphenol A (BPA), other bisphenols, and bisphenol derivatives in direct contact with food due to some of their properties which may be injurious to health.
Grilamid TR: Free of bisphenols, strong in applications
Grilamid TR is not affected by the new EU restrictions as it is completely BPA-free. The high-performance polymer has convincing long-term resistance to dishwasher use and is very resistant to aggressive cleaning agents, hot oils and fats. Compared to other transparent polymers, it also shows significantly lower discoloration from foods such as carrots, curry, or tomato sauce. This makes Grilamid TR ideal for use in household appliances, commercial kitchens, and industrial applications such as milking equipment or food processing machines. Its performance remains completely reliable, even after use in industrial dishwashers at temperatures up to 95 °C.
Grilamid TR – extremely versatile
Grilamid TR is transparent and crystal clear. The product family includes a variety of grades for different requirements:
• Grilamid TR 55 as an all-rounder, for example for baby milk bottles, water level indicators in kettles, or lighting covers in dishwashers.
• Grilamid TR 90 for applications with high requirements for break resistance and ductility, such as water filters or assistive cutlery for sick or elderly people with special needs.
• Grilamid TR XE 11292 for high-temperature applications with a glass transition temperature of 200 °C. This is the only transparent polyamide resistant to repeatedly sterilization with heated steam at 135 °C, making it ideal for use in the medical sector.
