Product Description
Food Grade Rubber
Description:
Smooth finish, good resiliency to abrasion and repels oily and greasy food products. Used for general gaskets, countertops and skirting in all areas of food processing. Non toxic and non-marking. Also used for food processing, pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturing.
Applications:
Shaker screens, butcher shops, biotechnology, pharmaceutical processing, commercial kitchens, hospitals, food processing plants, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, industrial plants, and grocery stores.
Exceptional Hygiene and Safety StandardsDesigned specifically for environments where food safety is paramount, this rubber boasts non-toxic, odorless properties and certification for food contact. High resistance to chemicals and low permeability minimize cross-contamination risks, making it an optimal choice in hygiene-critical settings.
Durability and Versatility Across IndustriesEngineered to withstand mechanical and environmental stresses, the rubber exhibits excellent ageing, UV, and ozone resistance. Its high tear and tensile strength are ideal for demanding sealing and gasket applications in food processing, beverage production, and pharmaceutical operations.
Customizable for Diverse ApplicationsAvailable in white or transparent finishes, with customizable thickness, width, and length, these sheets or cut gaskets can be tailored to meet unique operational requirements. Choose between smooth or patterned surfaces and natural or synthetic rubber types (including silicone and EPDM) to fit exact specifications.
FAQ's of Food Grade Rubber:
Q: How is this food grade rubber suited for use in food processing and pharmaceutical industries?
A: The rubber is certified non-toxic, odorless, and safe for direct food contact. It meets strict hygiene requirements while resisting chemicals, oils, and microbial growth, thus ensuring product purity and safety during processing and packaging.
Q: What are the benefits of using this rubber's high elongation at break and tear strength properties?
A: With an elongation at break over 250% and tear strength of 35 N/mm, the rubber delivers outstanding flexibility and durability. This makes it resistant to cracking, tearing, or deforming under mechanical stress, ensuring long service life in demanding applications.
Q: When should I choose this rubber for sealing or gasket applications?
A: Choose this rubber when applications require superior hygiene, resistance to chemicals and weathering, and strong mechanical properties. It is especially suitable for environments needing a reliable, non-toxic, and durable material under fluctuating temperatures and pressures.
Q: Where can the rubber sheets or rolls be installed safely?
A: These rubber sheets and rolls can be installed in food processing plants, pharmaceutical facilities, beverage production lines, and anywhere stringent hygiene and resistance to harsh conditions are essential. Custom dimensions ensure a perfect fit for various equipment or surfaces.
Q: What is the process for ordering customized sizes or specifications?
A: To order custom-sized sheets or rolls, specify the required width (up to 2 meters), thickness (5-10mm), length (up to 10 meters), and surface finish. You may also request particular rubber types (silicone, EPDM, or natural) and other properties suitable for your application.
Q: How does the rubber's low permeability benefit its use in industry?
A: Low permeability to gases and liquids reduces the risk of contamination and leakage. This feature is vital in processes where sealing or protecting sensitive goods is critical, ensuring product integrity and improving operational safety.
