Quilon - Safe and Healthy

Quilon® Contains Nature’s Own Chromium+3

Quilon, Zaclon LLC’s Release Treatment products, are a safe and proven source of release for your paper and film packaging applications. Quilon is produced from Chromium+3, the Essential Nutrient form of Chrome. Research has shown that Chromium+3:

Helps regulate Blood sugar levels

Helps build muscles

Reduces Body fat

Improves Stamina

Helps lower Cholesterol

Chromium+3 is non-toxic and is found naturally in soil, water and many foods. The National Research Council recommends that you need 50 to 200 micrograms of Chromium+3 daily. Most people, though, do not receive enough.

Typical foods containing Chromium+3 are apples, lobster, mushrooms, beef and peppers. Quilon, though not intended as a dietary supplement, contains 100% Chromium+3 and absolutely no Chromium+6, the heavy metal form of Chromium.

Quilon finds use in many Food Contact applications including the lining of sausage casings, hard candy wrapper, cupcake flutes and commercial bakery pan liner.

Quilon is FDA approved for use for incidental food contact, as well as, being 100% Kosher Certified. Quilon is disposal friendly and can be safely landfilled, burned or biotreated.

So, when you use Quilon not only are you using one of the best products available for industrial, textile or other applications, you’re also doing your part to save the environment!
