Food, beverage, and dairy processing silicone materials are engineered to comply with FDA regulations and 3-A Sanitary Standards for hygienic fluid and food handling.
Formulated to resist fats, oils, organic acids, and aggressive CIP (Clean-in-Place) sanitation chemicals, these non-toxic silicones prevent process contamination and premature seal degradation.
Equipment designers and plant maintenance engineers rely on these food-grade materials for pump seals, gaskets, and tubing. Read our selection guides on food-safe elastomers, temperature limits, and regulatory compliance.

Food grade silicones from ElastaPro are used by the food, beverage, and dairy industries. These high-purity elastomers are non-toxic, tasteless,
Metal detectable silicone rubber sheets make it easier for food processors to spot contamination caused by silicone seals. Because they are metal-impregnated, these elastomers let manufacturers use in-line metal detection systems to get fast, accurate alerts about the presence of silicone seal fragments in food products. ElastaPro’s metal detectable silicone rubber sheets meet FDA CFR
