Description
RUBPLA VMQ SILICONE-40 FOOD Semi-transparent is a high-quality silicone rubber sheet developed for applications where hygiene and extreme temperatures are paramount. The translucent version makes the material suitable for applications where visibility and inspection of product flows are desired. This makes it an ideal choice for visually critical and hygienic environments.
This quality complies with FDA and EC 1935/2004 and is suitable for contact with foodstuffs within the applicable conditions. The material remains flexible at very low temperatures and retains its properties at high temperatures, while being resistant to aging and ozone. The low hardness (40 Shore A) ensures excellent sealing properties and maximum flexibility, even under limited compressive force.
In short: a transparent, highly flexible food-grade silicone rubber sheet for extreme temperatures and visual inspection.
Application
- Food industry
- Seals at high and low temperatures
- Ovens and thermal installations
- Freezing and refrigeration applications
- Visually inspectable seals and applications
- Pharmaceutical and hygienic applications
- Electrical insulation and sealing
