What is a food grade gasket 18 x 18?
These gaskets come in 8 m lengths and are listed by size. Food grade gaskets are for equipment where the seal can touch food or drink, such as dairy, beverage and processing plant. Industrial grade gaskets cover general plant duties where food contact is not needed.
The compound and profile decide what each gasket resists. Therefore, tell us the medium, temperature and the groove or door it must fit.
