Food-Grade Amalgon® FGA0250S
Food-Grade Amalgon® FGA0250S is a fiber-reinforced thermoset composite specifically designed to replace stainless steel tubing in direct food contact applications. The ultra-smooth interior surface finish (15 Ra) is ideal for any food service application. One-fourth the weight of stainless steel, Amalgon is impervious to caustic cleaning solutions and can be sanitized with conventional cleaning methods. Food-Grade Amalgon tubing is designed, engineered and manufactured to meet the tough environmental and performance requirements of the food processing industry.
