Stays flexible cold
Grades that flex at deep-freeze temperature.
Material selection · freezer and brine silicone
Freezer and brine silicone for frozen lines.
Deep freeze and brine chemistry both test silicone. The right grade stays flexible and does not degrade.
Overview
Freezer and brine silicone, done properly.
Some rubbers go stiff in deep freeze; some degrade in brine. Frozen lines need a grade chosen for both.
We specify freezer- and brine-tolerant food-grade silicones around your freezer and brine chemistry.
What we design for

Wash tolerance

Documented
Grade recorded, declaration supplied.
What we ask up front
The same four questions we ask on every job like this.
Grade language, in plain terms
We describe grades as food-contact grade, hot-fill capable, high-temperature capable, or caustic-tolerant, and record the exact spec on paperwork.
Certificates versus declarations
A supplier declaration is a material statement. A certification scheme audits a site. We're clear about which of these we supply.
Grade updates over time
Occasionally a supplier updates a grade. We tell you at reorder if this has happened, before shipping.
Your own approval process
Tell us what your auditor needs. We'd rather find a gap now than after the mould ships.
