About Food Grade FRP Resin
Itis a orthophalic based polyester resin. Its non-toxic and non-polluting characteristics allows its usage in the food industry. It is used to fabricate numerous fibre glass reinforced plastic products including water tanks, food containers and food trays.Superior Food Safety ComplianceOur Food Grade FRP Resin not only meets RoHS and FDA guidelines but is also certified under IS:6746 and ISO 9001, ensuring maximum safety for food contact and storage. Its non-toxic, odourless properties make it a top choice for applications where hygiene and purity are paramount.
Versatile Applications Across IndustriesThis versatile resin is engineered for use in food processing equipment, water tanks, chemical storage vessels, and other surfaces that come in direct contact with food. Its robust mechanical properties and resistance to water absorption make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Reliable Performance and Long Shelf LifeThanks to its high strength, good thermal stability up to 120C, and low water absorption, this FRP resin reliably maintains integrity in challenging conditions. Packaged in secure containers, it delivers stable performance for up to 9 months from the date of manufacture.
FAQ's of Food Grade FRP Resin:
Q: How should Food Grade FRP Resin be properly stored for maximum shelf life?
A: Store the resin in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure that the original packaging (can, drum, or barrel) remains tightly sealed. Proper storage conditions extend the shelf life up to 6-9 months from the date of manufacture.
Q: What curing agent is compatible with this food grade FRP resin?
A: The recommended curing agent is MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide), which enables efficient and complete curing for optimal physical and chemical properties of the end product.
Q: When is this FRP resin suitable for use in food contact applications?
A: This resin should be used once it is fully cured according to manufacturer specifications, ensuring compliance with RoHS and FDA requirements for food safety, as well as IS:6746 and ISO 9001 standards.
Q: Where can Food Grade FRP Resin be utilized?
A: It is widely used in the manufacturing of food industry FRP products, including food processing equipment, water storage tanks, chemical storage containers, and any other surfaces that require direct contact with food or potable water.
Q: What process should be followed for using this resin in industrial applications?
A: Mix the resin with the appropriate amount of MEKP curing agent under controlled conditions. After thorough mixing, the blend should be applied or molded as required for the product, followed by sufficient curing time to achieve maximum strength and stability.
Q: What are the primary benefits of choosing this Food Grade FRP Resin?
A: The resin provides high strength, excellent thermal stability up to 120C, very low water absorption, and strong environmental compliance. Its odourless, non-toxic formulation ensures safety in sensitive food-contact applications.
