• RoHS 3 and REACH SVHC compliance provides assurance of environmental safety and regulatory adherence for global supply chains.
• Durometer 60A hardness offers an optimal balance of flexibility and compression for effective, long-lasting seals without damaging surfaces.
• Precise dimensional fit with 0.195" ID and 0.437" OD ensures easy installation and a secure seal for No. 12 screws, minimizing leakage risks.
• White EPDM rubber construction resists moisture, steam, and common cleaning agents, maintaining integrity in washdown and sanitary applications.
• Versatile food industry suitability supports use in processing equipment, sealing joints, and machinery requiring non-toxic, durable gasketing.

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

Engineered for demanding food industry settings, these EPDM rubber flat washers address critical sealing challenges where temperature fluctuations, frequent sanitation, and regulatory compliance are paramount. The FDA compliant white EPDM material excels in resisting steam, water, and mild chemicals, preventing degradation that could compromise seal integrity. With a Durometer 60A hardness, the washer provides sufficient compression to form a tight seal around No. 12 screws without over-compressing, which is essential for maintaining gasket effectiveness in vibrating equipment. This combination of temperature resistance and material durability ensures reduced maintenance intervals and enhanced equipment reliability in food processing, packaging, and beverage machinery, where failure can lead to costly downtime or contamination risks.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This flat washer conforms to inch system dimensions with an Inside Diameter of 0.195", Outside Diameter of 0.437", and Thickness range of 0.047-0.077". It is manufactured from EPDM rubber with a Durometer 60A hardness and is certified to meet FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for food contact, RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) for hazardous substance restrictions, and REACH (EC 1907/2006) for chemical safety, ensuring full compliance in regulated industrial and food service applications.
