Imagine being a food and beverage equipment manufacturer tasked with sourcing sealing materials that must satisfy an overwhelming array of global regulations.
From FDA standards in the United States to GB requirements in China, the landscape is daunting. And yet, the need for compliance doesn't stop there—these materials must also endure the extreme environments of modern food processing, all while ensuring food safety and minimizing contamination risks.

Enter FoodPro® EPDM materials from Trelleborg, your passport to global compliance and performance reliability.

Navigating standards

For food and beverage manufacturers, navigating regulatory requirements can feel like treading through quicksand. Each region has its own strict standards—EC 1935/2004 in Europe, FDA CFR 21 for the U.S., and China's GB standards, among others. But this isn't just about checking boxes; non-compliance can halt production lines, tarnish reputations, and risk consumer safety.

With the FoodPro® EPDM range, you no longer need to juggle multiple material specifications to cater to different markets. These materials are fully compliant with the most comprehensive food contact standards worldwide, meaning one solution fits all. Whether you're designing kitchen appliances in Italy, dairy equipment in India, or beverage separators in China, FoodPro® EPDM streamlines your pathway to compliance, saving time and resources while ensuring peace of mind.

Uncompromised safety

But what makes FoodPro® EPDM stand out beyond compliance? It's their ability to safeguard food safety even under the harshest conditions.

  • Hygienic Design: Manufactured without animal-derived ingredients and adhering to GMP standards, FoodPro® EPDM materials preserve the highest levels of cleanliness, crucial in contamination-sensitive industries.
  • Chemical Resistance: Designed to endure aggressive cleaning processes like Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilization-in-Place (SIP), these materials retain their properties against harsh cleaning agents, reducing wear and avoiding service disruptions.
  • Performance Across Applications: FoodPro® EPDM materials excel in both static and dynamic uses, whether as seals in valves or as gaskets in high-pressure filling machines.

Engineered for performance, FoodPro® EPDM materials excel across static and dynamic applications, from seals in valves to gaskets in high-pressure filling machines. As a globally compliant material, they provide a unified solution across diverse markets, eliminating the need for region-specific customizations. This streamlined approach simplifies manufacturing, accelerates product approvals worldwide, and reduces operational costs, making FoodPro® EPDM a reliable choice for safety, performance, and efficiency.
