VT70BK04 is a 70 shore A black FKM Type A compound that is both FDA compliant and metal detectable, specifically engineered for food manufacturing environments where contamination control is critical. This material is ideal for O-rings and gaskets used in processing equipment, allowing fragments to be identified by metal detection systems while maintaining excellent sealing performance. It provides strong resistance to heat, fuels, oils, and a wide range of industrial chemicals, along with durability against ozone, weathering, and aging. With a service temperature range of -26°C to 225°C, VT70BK04 meets ASTM D2000 M2HK707 requirements and is a reliable choice for regulated and high visibility applications.
FKM, commonly referred to as Viton®, is a high performance fluoroelastomer widely used in O-rings and gaskets where resistance to fuels, oils, and elevated temperatures is essential. FDA compliant and metal detectable FKM compounds are designed for use in food and beverage industries, combining chemical resistance with safety features that support contamination detection and regulatory compliance. These materials maintain sealing integrity over long service periods in demanding environments. While highly versatile, FKM compounds are generally not recommended for hot water, steam, or certain polar solvents, making proper material selection important for long-term performance.
