International Compliance

Food safety and hygiene
Filcoflex hygienic connectors

When used in the food industry, flexible connectors must comply with strict regulations, like that of the FDA and EC1935/2004. Filcoflex offers products in a variety of materials, one of them being polyurethane. Classified as a plastic, polyurethane must also adhere to EC10/2011 to make sure that it does not transfer harmful substances to the end product.

In 2010, Filcoflex performed extensive tests with TNO Triskelion to confirm our compliance to relevant standards. These tests are updated in 2024 with the help of Interktek.

To test, Intertek received materials and list of ingredients from Filcoflex. They observed how each material reacted when exposed to different conditions. To ensure that our products are safe for repetitive use, we also looked at the possible migration of substances.

Yes . Our in-house testing protocols are provided by laboratories we work closely with.
Most connectors must resist more than 0.7 bar. Systems usually detect explosions at this number and begin to vent out the overpressure.
The numbers depend on the material. Polyurethane sheets usually range from 1-1.5 Bar.
