• Food grade rubber is basically a high-quality and
  a certified grade of rubber which is generally
  used in food packaging and manufacturing. This
  rubber makes use of silicone, nitrile, natural
  rubber, polyurethane, neoprene rubber mainly for
  foodies grade materials. Besides food, the food
  grade rubber is also used for pharmaceutical
  manufacturing and liquids. It is essential to
  know that the food grade rubber has been
  certified by the Food and Drug Administration. It
  is important that the rubber parts and products
  should meet the standard levels under the acts of
  FDA. Owing to its several food safety properties,
  the food grade products turn out to be
  exceptional. 
• The food grade rubber is non-poisonous and it has
  a high range of temperature. Food grade rubber is
  perfect for the use in the storage and
  preparation of food. Apart from being
  non-allergic, the food grade rubber is resistant
  to water and mold which means organic material
  will not develop on the rubber. You should know
  that the food grade rubber is tasteless and
  odorless which means that it will not have an
  impact on properties and quality of the food. It
  is tough and trusted material which will last for
  a longer period of time.

Why Choose Food Grade Rubber Products

• Food grade rubber materials that are manufactured
  for the industries require to hold up to constant
  operation and high-speed abrasion. Food grade
  materials has to be non-toxic and
  mold-resistant. 
• Food grade rubber is backed by the US FDA.
  Although food grade rubber is manufactured
  primarily in the United States, the standards and
  rules of the food grade rubber are adopted
  throughout the world. The materials that come in
  touch with the consumable products should be
  approved by the FDA. This involves manufacturing
  the food grade rubber in a particular
  manufacturing environment and then testing them
  rigorously to make sure that they can tackle the
  challenging applications posed by beverage
  machinery and food processing.

  grade rubber products must be made only from the
  ingredients that are listed in the list of FDA.
  The top five materials that are listed are
  mentioned below.
• Silicone is basically characterized by its low
  toxicity, thermal stability, and low chemical
  activity. Silicone is resistant to heat. It is
  mainly used in adhesives, food grade sealants,
  medical applications, lubricants, cooking
  utensils and insulation. 
• Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer is known for its
  capacity to use in a wide variety of
  applications. It is rugged, flexible, and made
  from odorless and tasteless compounds. The
  material executes well in the ranges of
  temperature. It is used in the automotive
  products and food and beverage industry.

• 3. Neoprene material is used for door seals and
  refrigerators. The material is resistant to
  abrasion and repels oil. It is ideal to use in
  the kitchen where oily food is prepared. The
  material is used in automotive under the hood
  parts and in the refrigeration and door seals.
• 4. Fluorocarbon rubber can withstand high
  temperatures. Also, it is resistant to abrasive
  and harsh chemicals. The material is waterproof
  and it is not visible under water. This material
  is mainly used in the seals for automotive fuel
  handling systems and aircraft engine seals.
• 5. Nitrile is a popular rubber material. In
  the seal industry, nitrile is the well-known
  elastomer. The material features a combination of
  superior resistance to fluids with high resistant
  to abrasion and it is also resistant to
  petroleum-based oils. This material is used in
  low temperature military uses, oil-resistant
  applications, gaskets, seals, oil rigs
  applications and aircraft hoses.
