Products Description
Food grade FDA soft Silicone rubber gasket is a high-performance, high-safety sealing element designed for food processing and related industries. It has passed the FDA's rigorous evaluation to ensure its safety and reliability when in contact with food.
characteristics
FDA Certification: FDA-compliant silicone rubbers are recognized as generally safe (GRAS) materials, which means they are safe for use in food-contact situations.
Non-toxic: Food-grade silicone is non-toxic and will not release harmful residues.
High and low-temperature resistance: Food grade FDA soft Silicone rubber gasket can be used at certain temperatures, usually operating in the range of -103°F to 500°F (-75°C to 260°C), suitable for a variety of food processing and packaging environments.
Flexibility and Customization: Food-grade silicone is flexible and can be cut into a variety of shapes and sizes to meet specific food processing needs.
Antimicrobial properties: Some types of food-grade silicone, such as NeutraSil™, also have antimicrobial properties that can prevent bacterial growth.
Application Scenarios
1. Food Processing and Handling Equipment: Used to seal storage containers, kettles, blenders, and other equipment.
2. Food Grade Pipes: Used to safely transfer liquids, ensuring that beverages and liquid foods are not contaminated during the transfer process.
3. Food Storage Containers: Silicone gaskets can be molded into many different shapes and are often used in these areas.
4. Medical Devices: Silicone is used in medical devices such as catheters and implants because of its biocompatibility and non-toxicity.
maintenance
- Cleaning Practices
Use Food-Grade Detergents: Always use food-grade detergents to clean gaskets to avoid material degradation.
Rinse Thoroughly: After cleaning, rinse gaskets thoroughly to remove any detergent residue that could contaminate food.
Sterilization Methods: Sterilize using heat methods such as steam cleaning or using food-grade chemical sanitizers. These methods are effective and will not damage the silicone.
- Regular Inspections
Inspect for Damage: Regularly inspect gaskets for signs of wear such as cracks, discoloration, or thinning.
- Storage Recommendations
Proper Storage Conditions: Store silicone gaskets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Compression: Do not fold or compress gaskets for long periods, which can cause permanent deformation.
