Food Quality Gaskets

Food Quality Gaskets

With over 40 years of experience manufacturing gaskets for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, we supply materials that conform to the latest European and American food approval regulations. Our gaskets are commonly specified to prevent product escape in processing and packaging applications.

Popular food-grade materials include nitrile, which offers excellent resistance to animal and vegetable oils; silicone, which provides outstanding resistance to high temperatures; and PTFE-based materials, which deliver excellent chemical resistance.

We also offer metal-detectable gaskets containing additives that are detectable by scanning equipment, helping reduce the risk of product contamination. Food-approved WRAS/WRc gaskets are also available and are commonly used by water authorities in potable water applications.

Our highly advanced CNC machinery enables us to convert stocked gasket materials and fulfil high-volume or single-unit orders. We can cut to your specific requirements, whether you need a standard flange gasket or a bespoke picture frame gasket.

If you are unsure how to measure the gasket you require, we have compiled a helpful guide to help you determine the correct size.

Food Quality Rubber Gaskets

Food Quality Natural Gaskets - White

Natural Gaskets - White

Commonly specified in the food industry due to moderate resistance to chemicals, wet or dry organic acids, alcohols, ketones and aldehydes. Natural rubber gaskets are FDA-approved and offer superior tensile strength compared to standard synthetic alternatives. Temperature range: -40°C to +70°C.

Neoprene Gaskets - White

Neoprene Gaskets - White

Manufactured from high-quality, FDA-approved compound providing excellent resistance to ozone, weathering, ageing and abrasion. White neoprene gaskets are popular in food processing due to moderate resistance to animal and vegetable fats, oils and greases. Temperature range: -25°C to +90°C.

Nitrile Rubber Gaskets

Nitrile Gaskets - White

Blue food-grade nitrile gaskets are popular in the food and pharmaceutical sectors due to the material's highly identifiable colour. Retains the same characteristics as white nitrile, with slightly lower elevated-temperature resistance. Temperature range: -30°C to +110°C.

Nitrile Rubber Gaskets

Nitrile Gaskets - Blue

Blue food quality nitrile gaskets are a popular option in the food and pharmaceutical sectors due to the materials highly identifiable colour. The material retains the same characteristics as white nitrile, but has a lower resistance to elevated temperatures. T emperature range of -30°C up to +110°C.

Silicone Rubber Gaskets

Silicone Gaskets

A popular gasket material is used in various applications. Silicone is available in a range of colours and maintains flexibility and compression set at both low and high temperatures. The material has a non-stick surface providing good release properties. Temperature range: -75°C to +250°C.

Metal Detectable Gaskets

Metal Detectable Silicone

Contains additives visible to metal-detection equipment. This grade has the same characteristics as standard silicone rubber and is primarily used in food and pharmaceutical processing applications to reduce the risk of product contamination. Temperature range: -60°C to +200°C.

Food Quality Foam Gaskets

Polyethylene Foam Gaskets

Polyethylene Foam Gaskets

PE foam gaskets are lightweight and provide good resistance to weathering and oils. We offer a range of branded and unbranded polyethene foams, including Plastazote LD white (all densities) and Plastazote LD45 pink, both conforming to FDA regulations. Temperature range: -80°C to +100°C.

Food Quality PTFE Gaskets

Blue Gylon Gaskets

Gylon Gaskets

Gylon®gaskets are available in a range of grades that contain different fillers or exterior coatings. Each grade provides contrasting characteristics, including increased tensile strength or decreased creep retention. All Gylon® material options are FDA approved and offer good chemical resistance due to their PTFE base. Temperature range -268°C up to +260°C.

Klinger Quantum Gasket

KLINGER Quantum

Provides greater resistance to temperatures, chemicals and steam due to HNBR binding compared to other food-grade KLINGER® gaskets. Quantum has a non-stick surface, is highly compressible, and FDA approved. Popular for sealing applications in the food and beverage industries. Temperature range: up to +300°C (cont.), +400 °C (max.).

Klinger Top-Chem 2000 Gaskets

KLINGER Top-Chem 2000

Top-Chem 2000 complies with FDA regulations and is the only PTFE-based gasket material with fire-safety approvals. Popular in the food, chemical and petrochemical industries due to performance against aggressive substances. Offers good creep resistance with a non-stick finish on both sides. Temperature range: up to +260°C.

Klinger Top-Chem 2003 Gaskets

KLINGER Top-Chem 2003

An FDA-approved, highly conformable PTFE gasket ideal for sealing damaged and non-metallic flanges. Top-Chem 2003 is commonly used in applications where bolt load is limited. Highly compressible with excellent chemical resistance. Temperature range: up to +200°C (cont.), +260 °C (max.).

Klinger Soft-Chem

KLINGER Soft-Chem

A soft, expanded PTFE gasket conforming to FDA regulations. Soft-Chem is popular in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries due to chemical resistance. Low bolt load requirement and suitable for glass-lined and enamel flanges. Temperature range: up to +200°C (cont.), +250 °C (max.).

Sigma® 500

Sigma® 500

A high-performance, biaxially orientated gasket manufactured from PTFE and hollow glass microspheres. Sigma® 500 is designed for standard and low bolt-loaded irregular flanges. This FDA and WRAS-approved gasket suits many flange types. Temperature range: -250°C to +260°C.

Sigma® 511

Sigma® 511

These biaxially oriented PTFE gaskets contain a silica filler, making them suitable for sealing applications across most pH ranges. Sigma® 511 is commonly used in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries due to its acid-resistance. Temperature range: -250°C to +260°C maximum.

Sigma® 533

Sigma® 533

A high-performance, biaxially orientated PTFE with barium sulphate (barytes) fillers. Sigma® 533 is particularly suitable for strong alkalis and popular in food, pharmaceutical and other non-contamination applications. Temperature range: -250°C to +260°C.
