Resistance of U-shaped seals

Pull-ring connections with U-shaped seals when compared with pull-rings with sealant (mastic) are considerably tighter.
In order to withstand different chemical and thermal conditions, U-shaped seals are delivered in different rubber qualities.

The following consistencies are standard qualities.

Food quality with FDA-Approval
