Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Isolast J9516 and J9538 perfluoroelastomer sealing material

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions’ Isolast perfluoroelastomer sealing material has two specialised formulations for sealing in beverage filling systems: J9516 and J9538.

Specifically developed for food and beverage applications, both sealing materials are FDA (Food and Drug Administration), USP (United States Pharmacopeia) Class VI and 3-A Sanitary Standards approved. Suitable for filling and packaging equipment, these compounds provide resistance to concentrated flavouring additives, which can cause excess swelling in conventional elastomers. In addition, they withstand frequent harsh CIP (cleaning in place) and SIP (sterilisation in place) regimes, ensuring extended seal life.

The sealing material is suitable for seals and moulded parts that are exposed to extreme chemical and thermal conditions. Being almost chemically inert, it is resistant and durable in contact with media including solvents, acids, alkalis or steam and has operating temperatures between -40 and +325°C.

The product is suitable for use in foodstuff technology, such as in beverage and milk industry filling systems, where seals in contact with foodstuffs must remain neutral while withstanding cleaning processes that involve hot steam or aggressive media.
