Leveraging safe, high-performance materials for kitchen utensils

Consumers and regulators are increasingly concerned with the potential health risks posed by plastic kitchen utensils. In the past decade, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Commission have banned or restricted potentially carcinogenic substances, including primary aromatic amines (PAA) and bisphenol-A (BPA), commonly found in food utensils and packaging. As a result, household goods manufacturers are under pressure to ensure cookware meets evolving food contact safety regulations. At the same time, consumers expect high-quality, long-lasting products that are environmentally friendly and available at a low cost.

Understand why choosing Envalior in kitchen utensils

Envalior offers a broad range of engineering plastics ideal for manufacturing houseware goods designed for use with hot foods and liquids. Our Stanyl® PA46 and EcoPaXX® PA410 are optimized to produce safe, high-performance utensils that maintain excellent stiffness in high heat and provide a superior touch and feel for consumers. Unlike polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polyphthalamide (PPA) competitors, our solutions don’t require retooling or high temperature molds. Both options are also drop-in replacements for PA66 – which saves manufacturers re-tooling time and costs.

At Envalior, we understand that customer safety and satisfaction are your first priorities. We work closely with industry-leading household goods manufacturers to determine how we can evolve our thermoplastic solutions to balance multiple consumer expectations and minimize the risk of product safety issues. By closely following the latest food contact safety research, we enable utensil producers worldwide to develop first-rate products and expand into new markets with confidence.
