Designed for various applications requiring non-toxic and hygienic materials, this versatile silicone sponge strip is the ideal choice for industries and projects where cleanliness and safety cannot be compromised.

What is an EMS15 FDA Sponge Strip?

An EMS15 FDA Sponge Strip is a flexible, lightweight material made from food-grade silicone. Specifically designed to meet FDA (Food and Drug Administration) standards, it ensures the strip is safe for direct or indirect contact with food and beverages. The absence of adhesive backing makes it a preferred choice for applications where adhesives might interfere with performance, cleanliness, or compatibility.

Key Features

  1. Food-Grade Compliance
    Certified to meet FDA standards, this silicone sponge strip is free from harmful substances, making it ideal for use in food processing, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom environments.

  2. Non-Adhesive Design
    Without adhesive backing, the strip provides flexibility in application, ensuring it can be easily repositioned, removed, or secured using custom methods like mechanical fasteners.

  3. Excellent Durability
    Resistant to wear, tear, and environmental factors such as UV rays, ozone, and moisture, this strip guarantees long-lasting performance even in challenging conditions.

  4. Thermal Stability
    Capable of withstanding a wide temperature range, the FDA sponge strip performs reliably in hot and cold environments, making it suitable for industrial, commercial, and home use.

  5. Flexible and Compressible
    Its soft, sponge-like structure allows it to compress and conform to uneven surfaces, ensuring a tight seal and cushioning where needed.

Applications

  • Food and Beverage Processing: Ideal for sealing, insulating, and cushioning equipment that comes into contact with food and beverages.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Provides hygienic seals for machinery and components in cleanrooms and medical facilities.
  • Gaskets and Seals: Creates effective seals in equipment, appliances, and containers without adhesive residue.
  • Industrial Use: Suitable for insulating sensitive components in equipment exposed to extreme temperatures or chemical environments.
  • DIY and Custom Projects: A flexible solution for hobbyists and professionals working on custom sealing and insulation projects.

Benefits of Using an EMS15 FDA Sponge Strip Without Adhesive Backing

  1. Hygienic and Non-Toxic
    The absence of adhesive eliminates the risk of chemical contamination, making this strip ideal for environments where safety and cleanliness are critical.

  2. Customizable and Reusable
    Without adhesive, the strip can be easily cut, shaped, and reused for various applications, providing exceptional value and versatility.

  3. Temperature and Chemical Resistance
    Its resistance to temperature extremes and chemicals ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.

  4. Eco-Friendly Option
    The non-adhesive design reduces waste, as there is no need to dispose of adhesive liners or deal with adhesive degradation.

How to Use EMS15 FDA Sponge Strips Without Adhesive

  1. Prepare the Surface
    Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of debris for optimal sealing or insulation.

  2. Measure and Cut
    Cut the strip to the required length using scissors or a utility knife.

  3. Secure the Strip
    Use mechanical fasteners, clamps, or custom fixtures to hold the strip in place. For temporary applications, the strip's compressibility often provides sufficient hold.

  4. Inspect Regularly
    Periodically check the strip for wear or deformation to maintain performance, especially in high-stress environments.
