What is NR Food-Grade Rubber?

NR Food-Grade Rubber is manufactured from 100% natural and styrene-butadiene rubber, renowned for its high elasticity and resistance to tearing. Designed for direct contact with food (excluding fatty foods), this material is widely known as «food rubber.» Its reliability and compliance with food industry standards make it an essential material for creating gaskets, seals, and protective layers in food and beverage production.

Applications of NR Food-Grade Rubber

Food and Beverage Industry

• Sealing equipment for non-fatty food processing: Provides contamination-free sealing solutions for food processing machinery.
• Flexible gaskets and seals: Ensures secure sealing in storage tanks, mixers, and conveyor systems.
• Protective layers for food handling surfaces: Offers a hygienic and durable surface for direct food contact.

Industrial Applications

• Reducing friction between metal surfaces: Protects machinery components by eliminating metal-on-metal friction.
• Static joint sealing: Ensures airtight and watertight seals in stationary machinery joints, preventing leaks.
