Encapsulated O-Rings FEP/PFA
FPM75 Peroxide O-Rings FDA & 1935/2004
Maximum safety for the food and pharmaceutical industry
When it comes to applications where safety and compatibility with sensitive products are a priority, FPM75 peroxide-cured O-rings in yellow stand out as an exceptional solution.
But what makes these seals so special? Their formulation and certifications make them an ideal choice for industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, where materials must meet strict regulations to ensure product safety.
Certifications and regulations
FPM75 Peroxide O-rings in yellow comply with several key regulations that certify their suitability for contact with food and pharmaceutical products:
- FDA (Food and Drug Administration, 21 CFR 177.2600): Certifies that the material is safe for food contact.
- European Regulation EC 1935/2004: Ensures the material is suitable for food contact within the European Union.
Key features of FPM75 Peroxide O-Rings
To ensure reliable and safe sealing in demanding industrial environments, these seals are designed with properties that make them highly resistant and functional:
- High chemical resistance to oils, greases, and aggressive cleaning agents.
- Excellent thermal performance, withstanding temperatures from -15 °C to +200 °C, making them suitable for sterilization processes.
- Low compression set, ensuring a durable seal even under demanding conditions.
- Distinctive yellow color, facilitating traceability in environments where particle detection is crucial.
What does peroxide curing mean?
When an FPM75 O-ring is peroxide-cured, it means that the curing agent used in the vulcanization of the fluorinated elastomer (FPM/FKM) is peroxide instead of conventional bisphenol or amine curing systems.
The peroxide curing process creates a more stable cross-linked structure in the seal, providing it with enhanced physical-chemical properties against certain aggressive agents and extreme conditions.
Thus, FPM75 peroxide-cured O-rings are an excellent choice when a combination of thermal resistance, chemical stability, and durability in demanding environments is required.
Main applications
Thanks to their combination of certifications and resistance, these seals are the perfect choice for a variety of industries and processes where safety and durability are essential:
- Food Industry: Used in pumps, valves, and piping in contact with oils, dairy, beverages, and other processed foods.
- Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Sector: Applications in drug production and medical equipment requiring high-purity materials and strict certifications.
- Sterilization and Cleaning Processes (CIP/SIP): High resistance to chemical agents used in industrial cleaning processes.
If you are looking for a sealing solution with the highest guarantees of safety, durability, and compatibility with sensitive products, the FPM75 peroxide O-rings in yellow are the best choice.
