Resistance of Sealing Materials
Resistance of Sealing Materials
The resistance of sealing materials depends on the type and temperature of the medium
conveyed. The exposure time can adversely affect the service life of the seals. The
sealing materials comply with the regulations of FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 or FDA 21 CFR
177.1550.
Resistance:
• + = good resistance
• o = reduced service life
• – = not resistant
