Sealing compound

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions’ Turcon MF6 compound has been listed by NSF International as conforming to the requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 51 — Food Equipment Materials.

Turcon MF6 sealing compound has been engineered for processing environments, including food and beverage production. Based on ultra-clean technology, these proprietary compounds are manufactured from high-purity PTFE grades and additives. Their smooth finish, with high gloss and low porosity, avoids the risk of contamination build-up and reduces particle shedding. Each batch of MF material is manufactured using high-purity material only and can be issued with a certificate of conformity.

The Turcon MF PTFE-based materials offer: operating temperatures from -200 to +260 °C; almost universal chemical compatibility; low long-term compression set characteristics; high wear resistance; minimal creep and permeation; and a surface finish that minimises contamination risk. The product complies with FDA 21 CFR177.1550, 3-A, USB Class VI and NSF/ANSI Standard 51.
