As a top provider of essential components, Daemar Inc. is prepared for the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. While complying with government requests to help flatten the curve, many manufacturers are converting their production processes to make needed supplies, like sanitizers and protective devices. Daemar is taking on its responsibility to help these manufacturers by providing their elastomers, approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and sanitary components.

For medical and sanitary applications

Among the elastomers and urethane sealing components available are O-rings, seals, cords, extrusions, and custom-moulded urethane parts. In addition, DMR retaining rings are available in stainless for FDA and sanitary applications. Many kinds of equipment for demanding medical environments use Daemar sanitary components, like seals, bushings, retaining rings, and shim, which are essential for valves, pumps, and motors. It is vital to select the right material and design for these components, for top performance and longevity.

Daemar offers the following products for medical, sanitary, and FDA applications:

• X-ray and metal detectable seals. Industry-specific parts that help eliminate product recall, reduce product loss, and prevent distribution of contaminated product.
• Sanitary gaskets. Available in many FDA-compliant elastomers, fluoroelastomers, and Kalrez perfluoroelastomers.
• Self-lubricating bearings. Three options for off-the-shelf, FDA/USDA-compliant linear bearing for food-processing, pharmaceutical, packaging, or medical equipment.
• Braided packing. FDA PTFE packing with interlocked braids with break-in lubricant.
• PTFE encapsulated Viton O-rings. Virtually chemically inert, compression-set resistant O-rings for harsh sealing environments.
• Caplugs medical parts. Instrument and tip protection, connectors, medical packaging, and silicone caps.

These sanitary components are designed and built to perform in harsh medical and pharmaceutical processing environments. They are engineered to resist the biological materials to which they are exposed, and they also have to be able to withstand the regular cycle and chemicals of wash-down applications. Government regulations and standards for products used in medical tasks add an extra level of complexity.

The Daemar website offers medical and food-processing pages to help customers learn how to select the right products for their work conditions. Daemar Technical Sales Representatives can also help.
