Whitepaper: Elastomers for CIP and SIP operations
Clean-in-place (CIP) operations are used to clean and sterilize surfaces in a manufacturing facility without the need to disassemble large components or manufacturing equipment.
Gaskets, O-rings, sanitary rings, hygienic pipe connectors and other elastomer seals are commonly used to prevent leaks in these systems. To ensure a long service life, these seals must be resistant to chemical attack from any cleaners that are used during CIP, plus high temperatures and pressures experienced under SIP.
This whitepaper looks at which elastomers are best for CIP and SIP operations.
