Food-Safe and High-Temperature Thermal Resistance VMQ Gaskets
Silicon (VMQ) O-Rings feature outstanding thermal stability, keeping their elastomeric properties and mechanical flexibility across a broad temperature range from -50°C up to +230°C. Since silicone is physiologically inert, it does not impart odor, taste, or chemical contaminants to process fluids. This makes VMQ O-rings highly preferred for food processing equipment, coffee makers, biopharmaceutical reactors, and medical devices.
Micro Engineering manufactures premium VMQ silicon O-rings that boast excellent ozone, weathering, and UV resistance. Our silicone gaskets are post-cured in clean ovens to remove volatile byproducts, ensuring full compliance with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and USP Class VI sanitary guidelines. Additionally, their excellent dielectric properties make them useful as high-heat electrical insulation seals.
Preferred sealing solution for food preparation systems, pharmaceutical reactors, medical diagnostics, and outdoor weather-proof enclosures.
