In pharmaceutical manufacturing, maintaining product integrity, preventing contamination, and ensuring compliance with regulations are top priorities. Seals, such as O-rings, gaskets, and other components, are crucial in helping achieve these goals.

Metal detectable O-rings are essential for maintaining safety in the food and beverage industry’s production processes. Combining rubber and metal fillers, these innovative seals ensure that any contamination caused by seal degradation is quickly identified using metal detectors or X-ray scanners.
When an O-ring is said to be “food grade,” it’s understood to meet a rigorous standard of quality and cleanliness.
Food production is subject to stringent regulations to ensure safety and quality standards are met. Within this highly regulated industry, industrial seals play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of food processing operations.
Central to the effectiveness of O-rings is the concept of "squeeze" – a measurement of the deformation they undergo when compressed against their mating hardware.
