Nitrile Rubber Gaskets - Blue Metal Detectable

Nitrile Rubber Gaskets - Metal Detectable

Metal detectable nitrile rubber gaskets are precision-cut from a synthetic elastomer containing additives that are visible to most metal detector scanning equipment. The material provides excellent resistance to abrasion and tear and is suitable for use with dry and wet foodstuffs due to its conformance with Regulation EC 1935:2004. Metal detectable nitrile gaskets maintain the key characteristics of standard nitrile rubber gaskets whilst providing enhanced mechanical properties.

The gaskets are primarily specified for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications and help reduce the risk of product contamination. The highly visible colour also meets industry requirements, and the material provides outstanding resistance to animal fats, fish oils, greases and vegetable oils. Blue metal-detectable nitrile gaskets also offer a broader operating temperature range than standard nitrile grades.

Our in-house CNC manufacturing capabilities enable us to cut to precise tolerances and fulfil single- or large-volume requirements. We can manufacture dovetail, picture frame or standard flange gaskets and have the capability to work to bespoke dimensional drawings as required. For guidance on measuring flange and picture frame gaskets, please view our step-by-step 'How to Measure a Gasket' guide.
