Sanitary gaskets
Sanitary gaskets provide a reliable, leak-tight seal for hygienic fittings. Choosing the right gasket material is essential for the service life, chemical resistance and reliability of the hygienic coupling.
We supply a comprehensive range of sanitary gaskets, O-rings and specialised sealing solutions from Rubber Fab for the food, dairy, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Food and pharmaceutical compliance
Depending on the material, different compliance standards and product versions are available for food and pharmaceutical applications, including:
- FDA
- USP Class VI
- ADI Free (BSE/TSE)
- Metal detectable versions
- X-ray detectable (Detectomer®)
This ensures there is a sanitary gasket that meets the required standards and specifications for every application.
Choosing the right material
Selecting the right sanitary gasket depends on several factors, including the process medium, operating temperature, pressure, cleaning method (CIP/SIP) and the required compliance standards.
You can also consult our sanitary gasket selection guide to compare the properties of EPDM, FKM, PTFE, silicone and HNBR in one convenient overview.
Featured: Tuf-Flex®
Tuf-Flex® combines the chemical resistance of PTFE with the flexibility of EPDM. The gasket consists of a PTFE envelope permanently bonded to an EPDM core.
This combines the benefits of both materials:
- Excellent chemical resistance
- High flexibility
- Reliable sealing performance
- Hygienic and easy to clean
- No taste or odour transfer
- Long service life
For many applications, Tuf-Flex® is an excellent alternative to solid PTFE.
