HaloPolymer products can now be used in the food industry

Fluoroplastics F-4 and F4-D, manufactured by HaloPolymer Perm and HaloPolymer Kirovo-Chepetsk, have been successfully tested in the American Laboratory of Intertek Regulatory Services and have been proved to be safe in compliance with the following Directives of the Food and Drug Administration USA (FDA): 21 CFR 177.1550 and 21 CFR 177.1380, which set the requirements for perfluorocarbons in the food industry.

According to Maxim Doroshkevich, the CEO of HaloPolymer, "Fluoroplastics are widely applicable in the food industry: it is used for manufacturing some parts of equipment, packaging, and coating, which are in contact with food and drinking water. In the USA, at the request of the FDA, each product which is in contact with food must be proved safe. In this regard, foreign refiners use fluoroplastics which have been tested for their compliance with the FDA standards."
