Silicone Sheet - Metal Detectable
A widespread global concern is the risk of silicone particles from machinery contaminating products on the production line. This concern is widespread in manufacturing - particularly industries associated with food, drink and pharmaceuticals.
Metal detectable silicone rubber seals and gasket technology can quickly and efficiently be detected to prevent contamination. Will allow detection of any eroding particles entering the process line using in-line metal detection systems.
The production process can be stopped quickly, the contaminated products are segregated and the process line is maintained to rectify the problem. Therefore, the risk of production downtime and probability of waste being produced is greatly reduced.
TYM's Metal Detectable Silicone Sheet ranges from 0.5mm-10mm thick.
Colours supplied in our metal detectable range are Blue and all fully compliant to FDA 177.2600 and EC1935/2004
Our sheet can be supplied off the roll or as strips, seals, gaskets, washers and fabricated products.
If you require more information please contact our sales team on 01380 734510 or email us at sales@tym.co.uk.
The metal detectable range has been tested to and is in compliance with the American Food and Drugs Administration(FDA)21 CFR177-2600 & Directive EC 1935/2004.
These products meet the flammability requirements of FAR25/JAR 25/CS25 Appendix F, Part 1, (a)(1)(iv) and (a)(1)(v) horizontal flammability tests and Automotive Standard PART 571FMVSS302.
