2.Working Principle
Installed between flanges, valves, or housing surfaces, the white FKM gasket forms a tight, elastic seal under compression. It blocks leakage of food media and prevents external contaminants from entering the system. Its stable chemical and thermal structure retains elasticity and sealing force through frequent sterilization, temperature changes, and contact with food-compatible fluids, maintaining sanitary operation throughout its lifespan.
