Beldam Crossley Launches Crossflon® FG – Food Grade PTFE Now Fully EU-Compliant for Food Contact Applications
Bolton, UK – Aug 2025– 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 bever-age 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 facili-ties in the UK and Europe, installed in a range of food processing and packaging equipment – confirming its performance in real-world, high-volume applications.
