Silicon vs. Silicone: A Quick Guide to the Science Behind the Names

Meeting the Highest Standards of Hygiene

Manufactured in a Cleanroom Environment

At Sevitsil, we recognize that true food safety begins at the point of manufacture. That is why our products are produced within strictly controlled cleanroom environments. In the modern food and beverage sector, manufacturing in a cleanroom is not just a preference—it is a critical requirement for quality assurance.

Our cleanroom manufacturing process is vital for your operations because:

  • Contamination Prevention: By strictly controlling airborne particulates, humidity, and temperature, we ensure that no microscopic dust, fibers, or biological contaminants are embedded into our silicone seals during the extrusion or molding process.
  • Certified Purity: For food-contact applications, the purity of the material is paramount. Cleanroom production guarantees that our silicone gaskets arrive at your facility free of environmental contaminants, ensuring they are ready for immediate integration into your production lines without the need for secondary cleaning.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Using cleanroom-manufactured components simplifies your own internal quality audits and ensures compliance with FDA and EC 1935/2004 standards.

Beyond our manufacturing standards, our silicone is inherently inert. It does not leach chemicals, does not support bacterial growth, and remains odorless and tasteless.

Engineered for Safety

  • FDA Compliant: Materials meeting rigorous global food-contact standards.
  • Hypoallergenic & Non-Toxic: Ensuring purity of food products.
  • Easily Sanitized: Smooth, non-porous surfaces resist harsh detergents and steam cleaning.

Built for Demanding Industrial Environments

The food and beverage sector is a high-stress environment that pushes materials to their limits. Sevitsil silicone is specifically formulated to withstand the everyday rigors of the factory floor.

  • Extreme Thermal Resistance: Whether your processes involve flash-freezing or high-temperature industrial ovens, our silicone maintains its physical integrity without cracking or becoming brittle.
  • Oil & Chemical Resistance: Resistant to animal fats, vegetable oils, and aggressive cleaning agents, preventing swelling or degradation.
  • Excellent Compression Set: Our silicone gaskets and seals return to their original shape even after long hours of heavy compression.

Our Capabilities: Custom Engineered Solutions

  • Conveyor Systems: Wear-resistant profiles for smooth production flow.
  • Packaging & Bottling: Precision gaskets for airtight hygienic sealing.
  • Oven & Proofer Seals: Heat-stabilized profiles for high-temperature environments.
  • Fluid Transfer Tubing: Flexible, transparent tubing for beverage and liquid food transfer.
