O-rings play an often invisible but essential role
Expert in sealing solutions, Hutchinson Le Joint Français® designs and manufactures O-rings, BS rings and JF4® quadrilobes for all industries in elastomeric mixtures formulated in its laboratories, while ensuring constant regulatory monitoring.
O-rings play an often invisible but essential role. They protect and connect components in manufacturing lines, avoiding losses and waste due to leaks. Always keen to meet market demands, Hutchinson Le Joint Français® has developed a new FDA-approved blue FKM to complement its range of mixtures for the food market (EPDM, NBR, silicone). These compounds can come into contact with foodstuffs, whether processed or not, intended for human consumption (water, spirits, purees, oils, animal and vegetable fats, etc.).
This FKM is more versatile than NBR, silicone or EPDM compounds. Thanks to its mechanical properties, it is compatible with fluids in contact with oils, greases, washing and disinfecting agents. It can withstand extreme temperatures from -30°C to +200°C. It is also suitable for BS stainless steel bushings, used in very high pressure environments.
Hutchinson® is committed to food safety by offering its customers sealing solutions adapted to their needs, in compliance with current regulations. Hutchinson Le Joint Français® will be exhibiting its solutions at the CFIA show in Rennes from March 8 to 10, in hall 6 stand 6-C5.
