R4 Gaskets manufactures and supplies a wide range of high-quality gaskets and seals for the food processing, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. With a focus on quality, safety and efficiency, our products are crafted to meet the strict standards required in these sectors.
We stock food and medical-grade rubber sheeting and materials that comply with international certifications, including FDA, WRAS, KTW, BfR, and USP Class VI. Our selection includes food-safe grades of EPDM, Silicone, Natural Rubber, Neoprene, Nitrile, Polyurethane and Viton/FKM rubber. Nitrile and Silicone are a popular choice in the pharmaceutical industry due to their inert nature, so are taint and taste free, therefore unlikely to react with products or contaminate them.
Metal Detectable Gaskets
We also stock a range of metal detectable material including Nitrile and Silicone. The metal particles embedded in the material allows for them to be picked up by scanning equipment, thus reducing the risk of product contamination. These gaskets comply with both EC and FDA regulations for repeated use with foodstuffs, making them an ideal choice for food processing and pharmaceutical applications.
Nitrile is commonly used with applications using fats as it has a excellent resistance to oils, fats and greases, while Silicone is more resistance to temperature extremes with a temperature range of -60°C to +200°C with good resistant to weathering, UV and ozone damage.
