Detectaseal (photo) is a new, FDA-compliant, metal-detectable elastomer designed to help food companies reduce the risk of rubber contamination during processing. Detectaseal fragments as small as 2 mm can be identified by conventional inline metal detection equipment, ensuring early warning of rubber contamination. The seals are available as FDA-compliant grades of EPDM, nitrile and fluorocarbon elastomers, in blue and black, and in standard and non-standard sizes for use in a broad range of process equipment. — Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE) Ltd., Blackburn, U.K.
