technical details

The epoxy coating for food contact is used for the vitrification of the tanks containing foodstuffs such as wine, oil and grains. To ensure the quality of food and consumer safety, there are many European and national regulations that provide a number of restrictions.

The company uses products in full compliance with current regulations through the use of a bi-component epoxy-polyamination coating, free of aromatic amines, with a glossy finish, specific for contact with food, indicated for the “vitrification” of the wine vessels, the tanks for the containment of olive oil, cereal silos and tanks containing drinking water.

The polymeric coatings for the “vitrification” of the food tanks, since for their function they are subject to direct and continuous contact with foodstuffs, they must necessarily meet specific requirements that are governed by European directives subsequently transposed into our legislation by specific Ministerial Decrees. The Decree “Father” of all Decrees is that of 21/03/73 “Hygiene rules on packaging, containers, utensils, intended to come into contact with foodstuffs or personal use substances “which has had a number of upgrades since 1973 to date (about 45). The vitrifying products we use, once dried and completely polymerized, fall within the definition of plastic material as defined by D.M 21/03/73 and subsequent updates.

This Decree (and subsequent updates) provides for a number of restrictions and precisely:

Coatings should be formulated with SUBSTANCES NOTES and provided by the “POSITIVE LIST” specifications

These products must undergo a series of tests involving prolonged immersion with specific liquids that simulate the food substances with which the product can come into contact (so-called SIMULANTS)

The products will be related to specific certificates attesting their suitability for contact with foodstuffs
