    Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Face Shields

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Face Shields. Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Face Shields.
    Protect your eyes and face from particles and light debris in food industry environments. The headband and padded frame on these face shields contain metal and chemical additives, so they’ll be detected by metal detectors and X-ray machines if a piece breaks off and falls into your line. The headband and padding are also bright blue, making them easy to see if they get into a batch. By giving you a way to catch contaminants, these face shields help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. Lightweight, adjustable, and padded, they’re comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.

    Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Structural Noncorrosive Silicone Rubber Sealants

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sealants. Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Structural Noncorrosive Silicone Rubber Sealants.
    With chemical and metal additives that are picked up by X-ray machines and metal detectors, these sealants are designed to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs in food-processing facilities. Their blue color means they’re also easily spotted and removed if a piece falls into your line. They’re unpalatable to rodents, so they’re often used to seal entry points such as windows, doors, and wall panels to keep out pests.
    Also known as neutral cure, these sealants are noncorrosive and won't discolor copper, brass, or concrete. They’re structural sealants, meaning they combine excellent sealing properties and high flexibility with the mechanical strength of an adhesive—they can even join dissimilar materials. Made of silicone rubber, their resistance to UV light, moisture, and both high and low temperatures makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. These sealants are room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV), so they’ll begin to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air. They’re non-sagging and won’t drip from vertical or overhead surfaces.
    Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values, the more joint movement a sealant can sustain.

    Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Arm Sleeves

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Arm Sleeves. Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Arm Sleeves.
    Protect your shirt sleeves from stains and wear in food-processing environments. Since these sleeves contain metal and chemical additives that will get picked up by metal detectors and X-ray machines if they fall into your line, they help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. They’re also bright blue, so they’re easily seen and removed if they end up in a batch.
    Made of TPU plastic, these sleeves are tear resistant and flexible, even in cold temperatures. They resist chemicals and oil, so they’re commonly used with vegetable oil and animal fat. Sleeves are machine washable.

    These gloves have a metal additive that will set off metal detectors if they fall into your line, so you can safely handle food and tools in a sanitary facility. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for preventing contaminated food from leaving your facility. They’re also bright blue, which makes them easy to find and retrieve.
    Fully coated in nitrile, these gloves are oil and chemical resistant, so they won’t break down from fatty foods or harsh cleaners. Nitrile is a good alternative for those with latex allergies—it’s also more durable than latex. The texture helps you grip tools and work surfaces, and the seamless cotton lining keeps you comfortable. These gloves meet EN 388 (3121), which means they protect you from abrasive surfaces and provide light protection against cuts, tears, and punctures. They also meet German food standard 31 LFGB, which means they are compliant with European regulatory requirements and free of toxic substances.
