Is the PTFE Flat Gasket UBW 140 Type suitable for use in food and pharmaceutical applications?

Yes. The PTFE Flat Gasket UBW 140 Type is suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications. Made from premium PTFE, it offers exceptional chemical inertness, a non‑stick surface and high resistance to wear, all of which minimize contamination risk and simplify cleaning. Its broad temperature range (−200°C to +260°C) supports both cryogenic and high‑temperature processing typically found in these industries. The material’s proven compatibility with aggressive cleaning agents and wide range of process fluids, combined with long service life and low maintenance, makes the PTFE Flat Gasket UBW 140 Type a reliable, hygienic choice for demanding food and pharmaceutical environments.

Is the PTFE Flat Gasket UBW 140 Type compatible with sterilization processes used in pharmaceutical and food manufacturing?

Yes. The PTFE Flat Gasket UBW 140 Type is compatible with sterilization processes commonly used in pharmaceutical and food manufacturing. Made from premium PTFE, it offers exceptional chemical resistance and a wide operating temperature range (–200°C to +260°C), which makes it resistant to thermal cycles encountered in steam sterilization (autoclaving) and compatible with high-temperature cleaning-in-place (CIP) procedures. Its non-stick surface and wear resistance also reduce residue buildup, aiding effective sterilization and hygienic performance. As with all gasket installations, verify compatibility with specific sterilization parameters (temperature, pressure, exposure time and any aggressive cleaning agents used) and ensure correct flange and equipment design to maintain seal integrity and validated sterilization processes.
