Food Quality Gasket Material

We supply food quality gasket materials, such as PTFE, EPDM, nitrile, silicone and non-asbestos fibres. These materials are commonly used in the food processing industry: they are extremely stable and inert; are taste and taint free and have low microbial growth surfaces which prevents product contamination.

Temperature ranges vary with viton rubber, silicone rubber and non-asbestos fibre having the highest temperature rating. Non-asbestos fibre has the highest combined temperature and pressure rating.  PTFE has very low friction qualities and has outstanding chemical resistance, which makes it excellent for use with pharmaceuticals and food. WRAS approved EPDM rubber can be used for potable water and liquid food-stuffs. FDA qualities can be specified.

Colours Available: Black, White and Blue.

Food Quality Nitrile

We supply food quality nitrile gaskets, for use in the food processing industry. These gaskets are extremely stable, inert and taint and taste free, to prevent product contamination. Nitrile has good oil and fuel resistance but care is needed when selecting for biofuel applications.
