What is food-grade sealing material?

Commonly used materials for food-grade sealing rings are: silicone rubber, EPDM, fluororubber and PTFE.

If it is a food-grade sealing gasket (gasket), EPDM rubber is generally used. There are two conditions for a food-grade silicone sealing ring with good corrosion resistance. On the one hand, it means that the food-grade silicone sealing ring has high corrosion resistance, on the other hand, it means that the seal can pass the food-grade inspection standard, so most general silicone rubber products are used for food-grade pipeline sealing.

Food safety has always been a matter of great concern to people's livelihood in China. In recent hot events, the worrying food safety and hygiene situation of online celebrities' shops has been frequently exposed, and the reporter's unannounced visit is only the tip of the iceberg. Food safety should start from the source, and all links in the middle should also be paid attention to. In addition to raw materials, machinery and equipment in contact with food are also part of the source.

Food machinery can be divided into two categories: food processing machinery and packaging equipment. The seals in food machinery are generally in direct or indirect contact with food, so the cleanliness and safety of these products must be guaranteed, and the materials used must meet the requirements of food grade. The so-called "food grade" is a common name that meets the national food safety standards.

Any product must be labeled as "food grade", and it must meet the requirements of national food safety standards in addition to its own requirements.
