The use of seals for food and drinking water applications is one of the toughest challenges for your customers.

If a seal touches the food, it must meet approved safety standards so it won’t contaminate the food. Different uses need different sealing materials and approvals.

Besides being chemically compatible with the food or liquid, the seal must also handle the temperature range and the cleaning or sterilizing processes used.

EPDM is one of the most common materials for seals that touch food and drinking water because it performs well in these conditions.
