Food Processing
The Food Processing industry is extensive. At every stage of the process of transforming raw into finished food products, a wide variety of processing techniques and machinery are used. A wide variety of rubber materials and products are used both to carry out these techniques and also as a part of the machinery. Exposure to extreme hot or cold temperature, high or low pressure, suction, and/or exposure to potentially reactive compounds is a part of industrial food processing. Therefore it is essential that the rubber parts used in the food industry are able to withstand contact with aggressive cleaning and sanitizing agents and processes. Additionally, rubber parts used in the food industry have to be both in composition and design, resistant to microbial growth. The Food Processing Industry faces specific challenges from the mechanical, chemical, thermal, and hygienic processes. Each of these poses independent challenges when it comes to designing rubber parts best suited for each particular process.

Medical & Life Sciences
The Medical and Life Science industries use elastomers for several applications including diagnostic and surgical instruments, pharmaceutical manufacturing machinery, and many other non-implantable medical devices. Medical grade silicone rubber is the ideal material choice for many medical and bioscience applications as it can be easily sterilized. Silicone rubber is biochemically inert, elastic and flexible, naturally resists bacterial growth, can be formulated to be anti-microbial and is heat stable. These elastomers must meet higher standards with regard to biocompatibility, chemical inertness, low extractable content, and toxicity. A number of standard and non-standard O-rings to choose from Diaphragms and seals that offer :
✓ Excellent resistance to chemical solvents
