Elastostar’s new silicone rubber helps cut contamination risks in food and pharma plants

Plain City, OH – Mistakes in production can cost companies a lot, especially when food or medicine is involved. That’s something Elastostar Rubber Corporation kept in mind when they introduced their new FDA metal detectable silicone rubber products. This material is designed to help catch unwanted particles during manufacturing. If a piece of silicone ends up where it shouldn’t, metal detectors can find it quickly. It’s a simple idea, but extremely useful.

“We’ve seen how one missed detail can turn into a recall or even worse,” said Shyam Patel at Elastostar. “So we created something that helps prevent that kind of problem before it starts.”

This isn’t about fancy features. It’s just tough, reliable material that gets the job done. It stands up to high heat, pressure, and harsh cleaning. It’s also FDA-compliant, which means it meets the safety requirements for food and pharmaceutical use. You can use it for tubing, gaskets, seals, or wherever silicone components are needed. The difference is, now there’s an added level of protection.

These products offer metal detectability for proactive contamination control, are fully FDA-approved for safe use in food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing, and provide exceptional durability to withstand extreme temperatures and aggressive cleaning cycles. Their versatility makes them ideal for gaskets, seals, tubing, and other critical components used across demanding production systems.
