Polyethylene Foam Gaskets

Nitrile Rubber Gaskets - Blue Food Quality
Polyethylene foam gaskets are available in a variety of grades, densities and colours. We supply cross-linked polyethene foam as standard and offer a range of branded grades, including Plastazote® and Evazote®.
PE foam is an ideal gasket material, as it offers low compression set and high flexibility. The material provides good resistance to weathering, moisture, oils and chemicals and offers excellent thermal insulation properties. Specific grades, such as Plastazote® LD white (in all densities) and Plastazote® LD45 pink, comply with FDA food-contact regulations and are free of chemical agents.
Our highly advanced CNC manufacturing capabilities enable us to fulfil both low- and high-volume requirements. For guidance on accurate gasket measurement, please view our step-by-step 'How to Measure a Gasket' guide.

  • Temperature: -80°C to +100°C.

Standards

  • Plastazote LD white in all densities and LD45 pink comply with US FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for rubber articles intended for repeated use with food.
