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.
When specifying silicone elastomers for food contact applications, understanding the differences between European (BfR Recommendation XV) and U.S. (FDA 21
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
