IC Teststick housing

A SHATTERING DISCOVERY

Intensive research to find a safer material for IC Teststick housings resulted in destructive testing of plastic materials. There was a great risk of splinters and shards of plastic leaving the parent material which could be difficult to detect if they became embedded in food products.

As a result of our findings IC Teststick housings are moulded from high impact shatter resistant FDA approved material.
