Beldam Crossley, a UK-based manufacturer with 149 years of engineering excellence, is proud to announce the launch of Crossflon® FG, a newly certified food-grade PTFE material designed for demanding applications within the food and beverage industry.
Following rigorous testing, Crossflon® FG has been officially approved for food contact under EU Regulation 10/2011, and a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) is now available. This declaration confirms that Crossflon® FG has passed all necessary safety evaluations and can be supplied at every stage of the supply chain, in full accordance with Article 15 of the EU Plastics Regulation.
“Crossflon® FG marks a significant step forward in our polymer innovation strategy,” said Dave Haxton, Managing Director at Beldam Crossley. “It allows us to serve our food and beverage customers with complete confidence – delivering high-performance, regulatory-compliant components that are built to last and made right here in the UK.”
Why Crossflon® FG?
Crossflon® FG is stronger than standard PTFE, more wear-resistant, and features a super clean ‘Eternal White’ colour, making it ideal for environments where hygiene, visibility, and contamination control are critical. With excellent low-friction properties, it is perfectly suited for frictionless systems that demand long-term reliability and safety.
Applications now available in Crossflon® FG include:
-
PTFE bearings for mixers, fillers, and conveyor systems
-
Bushes and seals for shafts, valves, and rotating assemblies
-
Nozzles for filling, spraying, and dosing in hygienic processing lines
-
Guides and liners for contact surfaces in food production equipment
This new material is already in use across major cereal and chocolate production facilities in the UK and Europe, installed in a range of food processing and packaging equipment – confirming its performance in real-world, high-volume applications.
