Are the products suitable for high temperatures?

Our products are only partially suitable for use at high temperatures.

According to available tests, some containers are approved for heat resistance of up to 100 °C for a maximum of 15 minutes.

Others may, depending on material and application, be used at up to 121 °C for one hour. Please always refer to the detailed product description on the respective item page.

As a wholesaler, we forward the manufacturers’ specifications but have no direct influence on their accuracy. The final responsibility for use lies with the customer, who alone knows the composition of the filling product and the specific temperature conditions.

All plastics become softer as the temperature rises and may deform. A non-binding indication of temperature resistance can be found via the performance symbol shown on the product image.

Note for products marked “100 °C for max. 15 minutes”: For these items, the filling product may be kept at a temperature of up to 100 °C for a maximum of 15 minutes. This value represents the tested and permissible upper limit. For lower temperatures, a temperature/time correlation applies, which we can provide upon request.

Note for products marked “121 °C for 1 hour”: These items may be used at 121 °C for up to 60 minutes or at 100 °C for up to 120 minutes. In all cases, 121 °C represents the maximum tested and approved temperature.

In practical use—particularly in microwave heating—temperature development depends strongly on the composition of the product (for example, its fat or water content) and on the power and duration of heating. Controlling the exact temperature during heating is therefore difficult.

Unlike freezer applications, the key aspect here is not mechanical strength but the potential migration of substances from the plastic into the food.

We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our information but cannot exclude errors and therefore accept no liability. In case of doubt, please contact us directly.
