Detectaseal® elastomers
Detectaseal® is the latest advance in metal detectable elastomers, for contamination detection and containment.
PPE’s range of metal and X-ray detectable elastomer compounds has been designed specifically to meet the stringent demands of the pharmaceutical and food processing industries.
Key attributes
Detectaseal® has been engineered to give operators in food and pharmaceutical production and processing greater confidence in the safety of their operations.
Here are some key operational advantages:
Metal detectable
X-ray detectable
Fully compliant
Versatility
Available in blue and black, Detectaseal® O-rings have been tested and proven in use at leading pharmaceutical and food manufacturing plants.
Fragments of Detectaseal® as small as 5mm* can be identified by x-ray and in-line metal detection equipment in process lines.
This testing was carried out using a pharmaceutical metal detector from a leading brand with a 350x150mm aperture. The testing was verified with multiple product batches.

The Detectaseal® range includes FDA compliant grades of EPDM, Nitrile, Silicone and Fluorocarbon (FKM) compounds, plus USP Class VI certification for Silicone.
All materials in the Detectaseal® range are free from animal derived ingredients (ADI-free) and conform to EU regulations EC1935/2004 and EC2023/2006.
Detectaseal® materials are simple to integrate into your sealing system.
Detectaseal® materials are available as molded O-rings , HyClamp sanitary gaskets, IDF seals, RJT O-rings, DIN11851 D-seals and custom-designed components.
