- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell M106 (Extra Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: FDA Compliant 21 CFR 177.2415, FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3297
Often used in food and pharmaceutical plants, these PEEK rods help you prevent contaminated products from leaving your facility. They contain metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-rays if they fall into your line, which help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. Bright blue in color, you can find and remove them quickly. All are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
These PEEK rods resist wear from abrasion and repetitive processes. They also stand up to extended contact with water, high-temperature steam, and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. Since they’re lightweight, they’re often used as a substitute for metal parts in high-stress or chemical-processing applications where weight matters.

Food Industry Abrasion-Resistant Polyurethane Rubber Sheets and Strips
Use in food-processing environments for cutting surfaces, liners, and other high-wear applications. These sheets and strips are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
Metal- and X-ray detectable sheets and strips contain metal and chemical additives that will set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your food lines. The metal additive also makes it easy for magnetic traps to catch any broken pieces that may fall into a line. Use these sheets and strips to help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. They do not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), which is a chemical that can contaminate process lines.

Food Industry Abrasion-Resistant Polyurethane Rubber Balls
- Color: Gray
- Temperature Range: -94° to 305° F
- Tensile Strength: 800 psi
- For Use Outdoors: No
Safely use these balls in food and pharmaceutical environments to clean screens in vibrating sifters or to act as a seal in pumps and check valves. They're polyurethane with metal and chemical additives, which means they absorb shock and resist abrasion like rubber and are strong like plastic but also include additives that make them detectable on hygienic lines. These additives will set off metal detectors, X-ray machines, and magnetic traps if these balls fall into food. This helps you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. These balls do not contain BPA or plasticizers, so they won’t cause contamination or impart tastes or odors to products. They are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Food Industry High-Temperature Silicone Rubber Sheets and Strips
Made of FDA-listed materials, these sheets and strips are for use with food. They’re silicone, or polysiloxane, which resists ozone and salt water.
Metal-detectable sheets and strips have a metal additive that will set off metal detectors if any part of them falls into your line. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for preventing contaminated food from leaving your facility. They’re also bright blue, which makes them easy to find and retrieve.

Food Industry Oil-Resistant Buna-N Rubber Sheets and Strips
Made from FDA-compliant materials for use with food and beverage, these sheets and strips won’t degrade from animal and vegetable oils. Buna-N is also known as nitrile, NBR, and acrylonitrile butadiene.
Metal detectable sheets and strips have a metal additive that will set off metal detectors if a piece falls into your line. They’re also bright blue, so it’s easy to find and remove the piece. These sheets and strips help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to prevent contaminated food from leaving the facility.

Calibration Kit for Metal-Detectable Plastics
Made with metal additives, these balls test the sensitivity of food-processing metal detectors. They’re often used to calibrate metal detectors to find metal-detectable plastic tools that have fallen into a batch. To calibrate your metal detector, run different balls through the line—the smaller the ball, the more sensitive the detector must be to recognize it. Since they’re spheres, their orientation won’t affect a metal detector’s ability to register them. These balls help you comply with Hazard and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs for food safety. They’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Balls are autoclavable, so you can sanitize them with steam.
