Food Grade – Food Safe

J-Flex – your complete source for specialist silicone sheeting and products, including food grade/food safe silicone rubber.

J-Flex enjoys an industry wide reputation as the market leader for the manufacture of specialist sheet rubber products including food safe silicone rubber sheets that are safe for use in the manufacturing process for food & drink and pharmaceuticals.

Our food-grade silicone sheeting provides a high quality, safe and reliable product that is an ideal solution for the manufacturing processes in the food, drinks and pharmaceutical industries.  J-Flex silicone sheeting products are independently tested and comply with the requirements issued by the US FDA, German BfR as well as EC Food Safety regulations.

By complying with the above regulations and authorities, J-Flex food grade silicone rubber sheeting offers the reassurance that it does not contain any of the banned substances that some lower quality products on the market do.

J-Flex food safe silicone rubber can be supplied as sheets, die cut gaskets, moulded seals, extruded sections, inflatable seals – in fact any moulded, extruded or calendered component.

Most J-Flex sheet products can be supplied with our high temperature adhesive backing (generally speaking, any over 1mm thickness).

Some example applications are:

Gaskets and Seals: Silicone rubber sheetings are used to create gaskets and seals for equipment and containers in both food & drink and pharmaceutical sectors. These materials provide excellent sealing properties, preventing leakage and contamination.

Conveyor Belts: Silicone rubber sheetings can be used as a conveyor belt material in food processing industries. They offer resistance to high temperatures, oils, and chemicals, making them suitable for conveying hot or sticky food products.

Baking Mats and Pan Liners: Silicone rubber sheetings are commonly used as non-stick baking mats and pan liners due to their heat resistance, easy release properties, and ease of cleaning. They help in preventing food from sticking to the baking surface, making baking processes more efficient.

Tubing and Hoses: Silicone rubber sheetings are utilised in the food & drink and pharmaceutical industries to manufacture tubing and hoses for fluid transportation. These materials offer excellent flexibility, durability, and resistance to chemicals commonly found in these industries.

Medical Devices: In the pharmaceutical industry, silicone rubber sheetings are used for manufacturing various medical devices, such as seals, gaskets, and tubing. Silicone is biocompatible, meaning it does not react with living tissues and can be used in direct contact with the human body.

Encapsulation and Insulation: Silicone rubber sheetings are used for encapsulating and insulating electronic components or sensitive equipment in the food & drink and pharmaceutical sectors. They provide electrical insulation, protect against moisture and chemicals, and resist extreme temperatures.

Vibration Dampening: In pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, silicone rubber sheetings can be used to dampen vibrations in equipment to ensure stability and precision. This helps maintain accuracy in critical measurements and reduces the risk of equipment failure or damage.
