Food grade silicone plays a critical role in industries where safety and hygiene are top priorities. ElastaPro Silicone Sheeting offers high-quality silicone solutions designed for food contact applications. Whether you need sheets or gaskets, this material meets the highest standards and provides excellent performance.

What Is FDA Grade Silicone?

FDA Grade Silicone is a type of food-grade silicone that complies with CFR 177.2600, a regulatory requirement making sure of the material’s safety for repeated food contact. This makes it suitable for applications such as food grade silicone gaskets, seals, and other components. Known for its durability and flexibility, FDA-compliant silicone maintains performance under extreme temperatures and demanding conditions.

What is BfR XV Grade Silicone?

The focus of the BfR Recommendations on Food Contact Materials was originally on plastic food contact materials. For plastics a mandatory European regulation (Regulation (EU) No 10/2011) has entered into force. Therefore, the BfR Recommendations only contain those substances for which there are no harmonized EU regulations.
