Food and medical rubber applications

When processing food or pharmaceuticals, you can never be too careful when it comes to hygiene. At TRP, we produce rubber solutions that are made from FDA compliant materials, giving you peace of mind that your sealing solution adheres to the most stringent hygiene standards.

Food and medical rubber applications

At TRP, we have a range of FDA compliant products including o-rings that are commonly used in process equipment cleaned with clean in place (CIP) systems in FDA applications, which will result in reduced maintenance and therefore costs. These high temperatures FFKM O-rings are designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures used for sterilisation in the food and beverage industry. We also produce seals that are often used in the pharmaceutical industry. Seals can be the small yet vital piece in various pharmaceutical-based processes.
