Material Overview Elastomers

Material TSS Shore A Type Colour

Standards and cleanliness are paramount Compound
The sealing environment within food, beverage and
EPDM E7502 70 Elastomer Black
pharmaceutical processing is perhaps the most demanding
of all. Seal failure can lead to potential contamination or EPDM E7518 70 Elastomer Black
line stoppages. Materials, whether elastomer or plastics,
EPDM E8502 80 Elastomer Black
have to cope with a broad variety of process media along
with CIP (Cleaning In Place) and SIP (Sterilization In Place). FKM V8605 80 Elastomer Black
They must also comply with an increasing number of
FKM V8T41 80 Elastomer Black
national and international regulations such as FDA, 3-A,
NSF and USP standards. ResifluorTM 500 VCT90 75 Elastomer Black

Materials developed for demanding
applications Isolast® J9516 75 Elastomer White

Based on decades of experience, working with leading Isolast® J9503 75 Elastomer Black
equipment manufacturers and end users around the globe, Isolast® J9509 90 Elastomer Black
we have developed a tailor-made portfolio of materials
for this sector. To ensure extended sealing performance, Isolast® J9505 70 Elastomer White
Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has invested heavily in
Isolast® J9501 80 Elastomer White
research to identify the optimum compound for each
application. The resulting materials range from standard Isolast® J8325 75 Elastomer Black
elastomers to the proprietary FFKM Isolast® and Turcon®,
Isolast® J9512 75 Elastomer Black
our range of PTFE based compounds. These are discussed
in detail in the following section. Silicon SC6L1 75 Elastomer Blue

Compliance to all major standards
NBR N7027 70 Elastomer Black
Most importantly, materials from Trelleborg Sealing
Solutions are available across each compound type, which NBR N7007 70 Elastomer Black
comply with all major standards including FDA 21 CFR NBR N8604 80 Elastomer Black
177.1550 for fluorocarbon plastics, FDA 21 CFR 177.2600
for elastomers, 3-A, USP Class VI, NSF, and Cytotoxicity
(USP 87). On page 6 we give details of these standards.

Animal Derived Ingredients (ADI) can cause the disease Material TSS Specific Type Colour
BSE and should therefore be avoided in products that Compound Gravity

for human consumption. Sealing material ingredients and
process aids can contain ADI. Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Turcon® MF2 2.17 g/cm3 Plastic Off White
has therefore checked the compound portfolio and can
