Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Face Shields
Protect your eyes and face from particles and light debris in food industry environments. The headband and padded frame on these face shields contain metal and chemical additives, so they’ll be detected by metal detectors and X-ray machines if a piece breaks off and falls into your line. The headband and padding are also bright blue, making them easy to see if they get into a batch. By giving you a way to catch contaminants, these face shields help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. Lightweight, adjustable, and padded, they’re comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.

Eyeglass-Fit Panoramic Safety Glasses
Wear these over your prescription eyeglasses. The panoramic lens extends around the temple for additional eye protection.
Style F contain metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your food processing line. They have a blue tint that reduces glare from artificial lighting and makes them easier to spot than clear glasses. Use them to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety.

Wraparound Safety Glasses
The curved design sits close to your face for better protection from debris.
Many of these glasses also have additional features to improve wearability for long periods. Glasses with bend-and-stay arms have a wire core that adjusts to the shape of your head behind your ears, so they won't dig in or slip off your face. Metal- and X-ray-detectable glasses have metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your line. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to stop contaminated food from leaving your facility. They have blue frames, so they’re easy to spot and remove from your line. Those with blue lenses also help reduce yellow glare from artificial indoor lighting.

Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Sleeves
Protect your shirt sleeves from stains and wear in food-processing environments. Since these sleeves contain metal and chemical additives that will get picked up by metal detectors and X-ray machines if they fall into your line, they help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. They’re also bright blue, so they’re easily seen and removed if they end up in a batch.
Made of TPU plastic, these sleeves are tear resistant and flexible, even in cold temperatures. They resist chemicals and oil, so they’re commonly used with vegetable oil and animal fat. Sleeves are machine washable.

Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Shop Aprons
Keep workers clean and protected from spills and splashes on food processing lines while reducing the risk of contaminating the food. These aprons contain metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they—or any piece of them—fall into your line. They’re also bright blue, making them easy to spot. Use these aprons to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety.
Made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), these aprons repel water, chemicals, and oil, including vegetable oil and animal fats. They also resist tears and abrasion, and will remain flexible in low temperatures. They can be machine washed and reused multiple times.
Sleeved aprons provide better coverage than bib aprons, so they’re often used in applications with higher risk of splashes.
Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Pull-Tight Loop Tamper-Seal Tags
Seal valves, latches, containers, and other devices with these traceable, tamper-evident tags, which are designed for food, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary environments. They contain metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-rays if any part of them falls into your line. Use them to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to make sure contaminated food doesn’t leave your plant. Available in a variety of colors for color-coding the different lines and areas of your plant, they help you follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
These tags cinch tight like cable ties and have a pull tab to remove them without tools. They’re stamped with the message "SEALED" and numbered sequentially, which helps you track if any tags have been tampered with. Not offered blank for security reasons.
Metal- and X-Ray-Detectable Structural Noncorrosive Silicone Sealants
With chemical and metal additives that are picked up by X-ray machines and metal detectors, these sealants are designed to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs in food-processing facilities. Their blue color means they’re also easily spotted and removed if a piece falls into your line. They’re unpalatable to rodents, so they’re often used to seal entry points such as windows, doors, and wall panels to keep out pests.
Also known as neutral cure, these sealants are noncorrosive and won't discolor copper, brass, or concrete. They’re structural sealants, meaning they combine excellent sealing properties and high flexibility with the mechanical strength of an adhesive—they can even join dissimilar materials. Made of silicone, their resistance to UV light, moisture, and both high and low temperatures makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. These sealants are room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV), so they’ll begin to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air. They’re non-sagging and won’t drip from vertical or overhead surfaces.
Elongation and joint compression/expansion tolerance indicate flexibility—the higher the values, the more joint movement a sealant can sustain.
