Use of Rubber Products in the Food Industry

Rubber is a versatile material and has been in use for more than 1000 years. Though it finds many uses in different industries, rubber has been widely used in the food industry.

All rubber products used in the food processing units are most often exposed to high temperature and pressure settings. They are also likely to come in contact with food and oils during the processing. That is why non-toxic and odor-free food grade rubber is used for the manufacture of seals, hoses, O-rings and gaskets that are used in food processing units. Food grade rubber also has antimicrobial properties and it therefore prevents the growth of microbes including bacteria.

Since US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has very strict guidelines regarding what kinds of materials can be allowed to come into contact with edible products it is extremely important to maintain the highest standards while handling food items. The aim is to ensure that the food products remain uncontaminated at every stage of processing and reach consumers in perfect condition.
