Food grade vacuum casting resin

for fully functional pilot parts!

PRF100 PROTOTYPING RESIN
FULLY FUNCTIONAL FOOD GRADE
  • Tested and certified
  • High transparency and colourability
  • For prototypes and pre-production series

space

SMART PROTOTYPING
  • The vacuum casting technology allows the making of complex shapes and personalisation of fully functional pilot parts, bridging the gap between CAD and industrialization.
  • The use of silicone moulds supports cost-efficiency and rapid design iteration in the design development stage.
for any type of food
  • Compatible with a wide panel of food types like dry, oily, and moist items, as well as beverages including some alcoholic drinks
  • Tested for long or temporary contact

space

UNIQUE TRANSPARENCY
  • Food compliance is associated with superior transparency to offer a highly singular material in the vacuum casting market
  • This great clarity also presents a neutral basis for colour researching

space

CERTIFIED BY AN INDEPENDANT LABORATORY
  • Like the FDA, a compliance to the 10/ 2011 EU regulation involves a mandatory migration test to ensure a complete safety management
  • The compliance of the PRF100 with EU regulations has been analyzed and validated by an institute specialized in Quality, Health, Safety and Environment
