A published food-contact result

In April 2026, FABULOUS and AMT announced a food-contact validation for parts in FABULOUS DETECT PA11, vapor smoothed with PostPro Pure. An accredited independent lab found extractables well within regulatory limits under US FDA 21 CFR §177.1500. The full story is in FABULOUS and AMT: food-contact validation for DETECT PA11 with PostPro Pure (opens the community forum in a new tab).

Please keep the scope in mind: the result covers that material with that consumable. It is not a blanket approval for every PA11 or every application. If your parts will touch food, validate your own material and process.

Grades

AMT’s compatible materials lists name tested grades; see the documents page. Not listed? Send parts for a benchmark.
