FOOD CONTACT SAFE!

For us, product safety is of utmost priority. With the Food Contact Notification (FCN) we have obtained regulatory clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration for the majority of our industrial and laser marking pigments in plastic applications.

WE GO FOR GOLD

FCN is like the gold standard of product safety and is the preferred process of authorizing new uses of food additives and is recognized globally.

With the Food Contact Notification (FCN) for food & beverage, our decorative effect pigments can make your packaging more visually appealing.

For sustainability, incorporate laser-sensitive pigments inside the polymer to be able to replace traditional labels. Our laser marking technology is not only sustainable but is also consistent, fast and durable. Curious to learn more about Iriotec® pigments – visit our iriotec.com website!
