Description
These SMS gaskets (sealing rings) are made of high quality EPDM rubber.
EPDM is well-suited for use in a temperature range of -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to 248°F)
EPDM is a non-toxic material and is generally considered safe for food contact.
It is often used in food processing and packaging systems, especially when the material comes into direct contact with food products.
EPDM rubber can meet FDA (Food and Drug Administration) standards for use in food-related applications, as long as it is properly formulated for this purpose.
EPDM performs exceptionally well in environments where there is water, steam, or other aqueous solutions, which makes it ideal for wet processing or cleaning in food production systems (e.g., in wash-down applications or sanitation).
EPDM is commonly used for gaskets and seals in food processing machines, such as those used in mixing, filling, packing, and canning operations.
The material's ability to resist water, steam, and cleaning agents makes it well-suited for wash-down environments.
Gaskets of EPDM are used in food conveyor belts and food transport systems, especially when there is exposure to water or steam, such as in bakery or dairy plants.
