S-99186A124 0.355" ID x 0.625" OD FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2600 Rubber Sealing Washers

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Food-safe compliance with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, ensuring suitability for direct contact in food processing environments
• Broad temperature resilience from -50°F to 300°F, maintaining seal integrity in extreme heating/cooling cycles
• Optimal sealing performance with Durometer 60A hardness balancing flexibility and compression resistance
• Chemical and moisture resistance inherent to EPDM rubber, extending service life in washdown conditions
• Precision dimensional fit with 0.355" ID for secure 3/8" screw mounting and 0.625" OD for effective load distribution
• Regulatory adherence to RoHS 3 and REACH standards, verifying environmental and safety compliance
• Visual cleanliness with white coloration facilitating quick inspection in hygienic facilities

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

These EPDM rubber flat washers address critical sealing challenges in food industry equipment where temperature fluctuations, steam cleaning, and chemical exposure degrade ordinary seals. The FDA-compliant formulation prevents contamination while the 0.625" OD and 0.355" ID dimensions ensure precise fitment on 3/8" screws. Engineers specify these white food grade washers for processing machinery, packaging systems, and sanitary fittings where Durometer 60A hardness provides ideal compression recovery. The material's innate resistance to oxidation and polar fluids makes it superior to standard rubber in maintaining sealing integrity through repeated thermal cycles and aggressive sanitation protocols.
