Trust Our High-Performance Silicone Seals for Your Most Critical Applications.

Yes, but only if specified. Look for FDA-approved or Food-Grade Silicone that complies with regulations (e.g., FDA 21 CFR 177.2600). This ensures the material is non-toxic and will not leach chemicals or impart taste or odor to food or beverages.

Yes, specifically Medical-Grade Silicone. This type meets stringent USP Class VI and ISO 10993 standards for biocompatibility. It is non-allergenic, non-reactive, and can be sterilized (via autoclave, gamma radiation, or ETO) for use in implants, surgical tools, and medical devices.

A Gasket is typically a flat seal (often custom-shaped) used to create a static seal between two flat, stationary surfaces (e.g., a machine housing or appliance door). An O-Ring is a torus (doughnut-shaped) ring designed to sit in a groove and create a seal between two cylindrical parts, often where there is movement (static or dynamic sealing).

Hardness is measured on the Shore A scale. A higher number means a harder material. Softer (20-50 Shore A): Best for sealing uneven or fragile surfaces and low-pressure applications. Excellent conformability. Medium (50-70 Shore A): The most common general-purpose range. Offers a good balance of sealing force, flexibility, and durability. Firmer (70-80+ Shore A): Used for high-pressure applications, abrasive environments, or where extrusion resistance is critical.

Absolutely. Solid silicone is highly versatile and can be custom-molded into virtually any shape, size, or color. Custom gaskets are ideal for prototypes, unique machinery, or specific design requirements where off-the-shelf sizes won't work.
