When it comes to food, everyone wants to be sure that it is free of harmful substances. In order to guarantee safety, not only the food, but the materials with which it contacts, must meet particularly stringent criteria, a statement that also applies to sealing materials.
The company says Freudenberg VMQ series materials are highly suitable for use in food plants, particularly if the application has extreme thermal requirements (-50°C to 200°C) and cleaning processes that do not rely on steam sterilisation.
A good application example for 70 VMQ 117055 is dairy operations, which frequently use the material to manufacture O rings as the high fat content of the process media must be taken into consideration. Freudenberg 70 VMQ 117055 is resistant to animal, ethereous and plant fats/oils.
Due to the material’s purity, it is said to be fast becoming the preferred choice in the food sector. Importantly, 70 VMQ 117055 is ADI-free and conforms to FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, EC Regulation 1935/2004, 3-A Sanitary Standards Class I and USP Class VI (121°C).
