About Plastic

About Rubber

Common in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK sheets and bars help you identify contaminated batches. They contain metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-rays if they fall into your line, which help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. All are bright blue in color, so you can find and remove them quickly. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

These PEEK sheets and bars stand up to wear from abrasion and repetitive processes. They’re also resistant to extended contact with water, high-temperature steam, and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. Due to their light weight, they’re commonly substituted for metal parts in high-stress or chemical-processing applications where weight is important.

Often used in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK rods help you prevent contaminated products from leaving your facility. They contain metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-rays if they fall into your line, which help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. Bright blue in color, you can find and remove them quickly. All are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

These PEEK rods resist wear from abrasion and repetitive processes. They also stand up to extended contact with water, high-temperature steam, and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. Since they’re lightweight, they’re often used as a substitute for metal parts in high-stress or chemical-processing applications where weight matters.

Food Industry Abrasion-Resistant Polyurethane Rubber Sheets and Strips

Use in food-processing environments for cutting surfaces, liners, and other high-wear applications. These sheets and strips are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Metal- and X-ray detectable sheets and strips contain metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your food lines. The metal additive also makes it easy for magnetic traps to catch any broken pieces that may fall into a line. Use these sheets and strips to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. They do not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), which is a chemical that can contaminate process lines.

Food Industry Abrasion-Resistant Polyurethane Rubber Balls

Color: Gray
Temperature Range: 0° to 180° F
Tensile Strength: 3,900psi
For Use Outdoors: Yes

Safely use these balls in food and pharmaceutical environments to clean screens in vibrating sifters or to act as a seal in pumps and check valves. They’re made with metal and chemical additives to set off metal detectors or X-ray machines if they fall into food, helping you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. The metal additive also ensures these balls will be caught by magnetic traps. These balls are FDA compliant for direct contact with food, and contain no BPA or plasticizers that could cause contamination. They’re made of polyurethane, which combines rubber’s shock-absorbing properties with the strength of plastic. To withstand rough use over time, these balls are designed to be abrasion resistant.
