Product Description
Approved to: FDA 21 CFR No: 177 – 2600 & EU1935/2004 regulations.
Our blue FKM A (Viton) food contact rubber is the best choice for specialist food contact and pharmaceutical applications.
We produce this particular sheeting grade using an FKM A quality compound. This ensures that you get the best combination of physical properties and resistance possible.
Our food grade FKM A (Viton) sheeting features outstanding resistance against animal fats and other food-related oils. It is also able to maintain this resistance and physical properties across a broad temperature range of -30°C up to +275°C.
We are able to supply this material in variety of thicknesses between 0.5mm – 50mm. It features a standard width of 1.2m and is available in 5m or 10m long rolls depending on the thickness.
Despite FKM A sheeting having high resistance to hydrocarbons, oils, acids and chemicals, it cannot be used where resistance to ketones is required.
Our blue FKM A (Viton) food contact rubber sheeting contains 66% fluorine content.
