Sanitary gaskets are a type of gaskets that are designed to be used in applications, where sanitation takes a priority. These gaskets fill up the space between two or more surfaces that connect each other, and help prevent leakages. SSP Manufacturing, Inc. is a leading provider of sanitary gaskets made from FDA-approved materials. Our gaskets are used in a diverse range of sanitary applications.

Sanitary Gasket Materials
We provide sanitary gaskets in various materials, which include:
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): PTFE is a material, which is extremely resistant to process fluids, and has a very low absorption rate. These properties make this material a perfect choice for sanitary gaskets.
- Viton®: Properties such as low gas permeability, and high molecular weight, makes it ideal for use in sanitary gaskets. Viton® is also chemical, mechanical, heat, and steam resistant, which adds up to its beneficial features.
- Tuf-Steel®: This material exhibits outstanding leak-proof performance, and is mainly used in sanitary steam pipe connections, where the temperature ranges vary from -20°F to 500°F.
- EPDM: EPDM is the material that offers a good resistance to abrasion, de-ionized water, sunlight, and ozone. Besides this, it is also highly resistant to alcohols, alkalis, and mild acids, and has a good tensile strength.
- Silicone: Silicone material has a capability to survive various chemicals, as well as chemical compositions. In addition to this, the material has an exceptional low temperature flexibility, thus making it a perfect match for sanitary gaskets.
- Buna-N: This material is highly resistant to abrasion, tear, and compression set. It also offers a good resistance to acid and alkali. These properties of the Buna-N material makes it ideal for sanitary gaskets in food industry.
