Conventional Black Usage in Food Applications

Processors typically use:

Large-particle blacks (N660/N772/N990)

(rubber reinforcing grades)

Mixed furnace blacks not originally designed for migration limits

Blacks with uncontrolled volatiles and surface chemistry

Industry Problems with Conventional Grades

Conventional blacks were simply never tuned for food-contact polymer environments

ISTAR Upgrade — PLASTEXA® Clean Black Technology

PLASTEXA® is engineered specifically for safe, compliant plastics:

Large, soft aggregates low migration
Ultra-low VMs No odor
Controlled surface chemistry Reduced PAH
Narrow PSD Zero specking in injection-molded PP
Smooth melt flow for caps/closures

Where rubber blacks struggle with compliance, PLASTEXA® delivers clean, foodgrade performance.
