Food-Grade Amalgon® FGA0175S

Food-Grade Amalgon® FGA0175S 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.

Features & Benefits

Superior to Honed Stainless Steel

  • Shorter lead times because no honing required.
  • Eliminates bacterial buildup and impervious to caustic cleaning solutions.

Wide Range of Lengths

  • Cut pieces or lengths up to 120 inches, eliminating the need for costly joints and labor-intensive assembly.

In-House Tooling Affords Greater Versatility

  • Tooling available for inner diameters ranging from 1 inch to 30 inch (metric sizes also available).
  • Wall thickness can be varied to meet pressure requirements or component geometry.

More Cost Effective than Stainless Steel

  • Savings of 25% to 50% compared to honed stainless steel due to lower material costs, reduced shipping and handling costs, and faster assembly times.
