FDA and EU compliant products
FDA and EU-10/2011-compliant for the medical, food and packaging industry.
To remain FDA and EU-10/2011 compliant you are required to meet strict requirements for food hygiene and food safety in both manufacturing and packaging. igus® has a developed a range of FDA and EU compliant products that conform to the specific guidelines. The FDA and EU compliant product materials have been specially developed for moving applications where there is either direct food contact or a possibility of food contact. As with all igus® materials, they do not require any lubrication therefore product contamination is ruled out completely.

Bisphenol A Ban
From the 2nd of January 2028, the chemical Bisphenol A is to be banned, which directly affects our iglidur® A350 material used predominantly for food and packaging applications.
- We have stock, but as this depletes we will no longer manufacture with A350
- We can still support with existing applications and have other suitable materials on hand
- We are currently developing a direct replacement for A350 which is BPA free and should be available in the coming months
