Treads reduce slips and falls in the work place
Made from isophthalic resin that is corrosion resistant, fire resistant and extremely hard wearing a range of tread plates can be fitted over the top of existing stair treads.
Therefore ECC/Detectamet offers Metal Detectable materials for dry, frozen or wet environments to meet these high standards.
Available Metal Detectable materials: * BLF blue Polyethylene (for -73 deg C to +27 deg C) with antibacterial protection.
* BHF blue Polypropylene (for +4 deg C to +104 deg C) with antibacterial protection.
* BSF blue Acetal (for -40 deg C to +60 deg C) with antibacterial protection.
In 2001 the process was started with the development of metal detectable materials as a standard application for a potato plant.
The harsh environment in this industry resulted in detectable and wear resistant solutions.
Interest in this material has grown.
Amongst others, vegetable and bakery industry, are applying this technology either in new or existing installations metal detectable materials are standard protected with Microban antibacterial protection.
The incorporated Microban ensures improved hygiene, especially between regular cleaning operations and production start-up.
Metal Detectable materials with active protection against food poisoning bacteria and fungi are important developments in a total food safety program.
