PPE offers a full range of sealing solutions for pharmaceutical and bio-analytical industries where both mechanical and chemical properties are crucial, and hygienic sealing capability is critical.
PPE's pharmaceutical material grades have been specially developed to withstand steam-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) procedures within pipe work and vessels.
..
PPE has over 25 years experience in manufacturing O-rings and bespoke elastomer seals to the European Hygienic Equipment Design Group (EHEDG) guidelines. These guidelines look beyond the seal material and consider the seal in its operating environment. PPE routinely uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation techniques to develop hygienic seals which do not pose a contamination risk through their potential to 'trap' particles or bacteria.
