Metal Detectable Silicone Rubber

Metal detectable silicone is a specialised type of silicone rubber designed for use in industries where contamination prevention is critical, such as food processing and pharmaceuticals. Some of its key features include:

• Detectability: Infused with metal-detectable additives, this silicone can be identified by standard metal detection systems, allowing for quick identification and removal of any fragments.
• FDA compliance: This metal detectable silicone meets FDA standards for food safety, ensuring it is safe for use in food contact applications.
• Durability: Resistant to extreme temperatures, abrasion, and chemicals, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• Mechanical properties: Offers good flexibility, tensile strength, and tear resistance, which are essential for maintaining integrity under mechanical stress.
• Non-toxic: Safe for use in sensitive applications, including those involving direct food contact.

These features make metal detectable silicone an essential material for ensuring product safety and compliance in contamination-sensitive industries. The most common of these include:

• Food Processing: Ensures that any fragments from seals or gaskets can be detected and removed, preventing contamination of food products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used in equipment and processes to prevent contamination of medicines and other pharmaceutical products.
• Beverage industry: Helps maintain the purity of beverages by ensuring that any fragments are detectable.
• Packaging: Used in machinery and conveyor systems to ensure that any fragments are detected before packaging.
• Cosmetics: Ensures that cosmetic products remain free form contamination during manufacturing.
