These gaskets incorporate metal particles visible to X-ray equipment, ensuring foreign material detection. They meet FDA and USP Class VI standards, offering enhanced safety and compliance in hygienic processing environments.
PTFE (Teflon)
The harshest environments require specialized solutions. Often times, a Canyon Components PTFE sanitary gaskets & tri-clamp gaskets are used in harsh chemical environments. Polytetrafluoroethylene, commonly known as PTFE or Teflon®, is a high-performance fluoropolymer known for its exceptional chemical resistance, low friction, and non-stick properties.
Fluorosilicone (FVMQ)
The mechanical and physical properties of Fluorosilicone sanitary gaskets & tri-clamp gaskets, O-rings, gaskets, & custom molded parts are very similar to silicone. Fluorosilicone O-rings, gaskets, & custom molded parts offer improved flexibility and strength, better resistance to fuels and mineral oil, but reduced hot air resistance.

NBR (Nitrile, Buna-N)
Nitrile sanitary gaskets & tri-clamp gaskets, O-rings, gaskets, & custom molded parts are very oil-resistant, have strong mechanical properties, are resistant to wear, and are relatively inexpensive. These properties make Nitrile the most commonly used general purpose O-ring, gasket, & custom molded part material.
HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile)
Hydrogenated Nitrile sanitary gaskets & tri-clamp gaskets, O-rings, gaskets, & custom molded parts offer higher strength and reduced degradation at high temperatures compared to conventional Nitrile materials. These properties make HNBR materials popular in the oil and gas industry, as well as many applications in the chemical industry.
