Product Description
Our metal detectable silicone rubber sheeting is a high quality sheeting fully FDA compliant. It is ideal for use in the food industry and other demanding applications, and has excellent temperature and weathering resistance.
What sets this product apart from our other food safe products is that the sheeting contains additives which can be picked up by metal detecting equipment. This ensures that unwanted fragments of broken or damaged seals and gaskets can be removed before they enter any products or consumables.
Metal detectable silicone sheets are commonplace in many different food processing as well as pharmaceutical applications. It minimises the risk of foreign objects contaminating food or sensitive equipment, giving both you and your customers peace of mind at all times.
We supply our metal detectable silicone rubber sheeting in industry standard blue. We stock a range of thicknesses from 0.5mm to 10mm to ensure you get the perfect product to match your specific requirements.
