Rubber Fab's Silicone Cam and Groove Sock Screen Gaskets are designed with centering knobs on all sides to make installation and removal a breeze. These fluid filtration gaskets feature a 316L stainless steel screen that is available in various lengths, making them suitable for high purity systems. The benefits of the Sock Screen versus traditional flat screen gaskets include: 300% more open area, greater flow under heavy particulate, less servicing, and reduced downtime. Use these fluid filtration gaskets for bulk transfers, tanker truck transfers, pump protection, fluid conditioning, flavor infusion, and much more. Our sock screens are available in a variety of mesh sizes ranging from 10 Mesh up to 325 Mesh, with 10 and 16 mesh being the standards.

Platinum Cured Silicone Camlock Gaskets are an excellent choice for use in production facilities for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, high-purity water, and food/beverage products. Silicone Sanitary Gaskets can withstand temperature extremes, radiation, corona, ozone exposure, moisture and steam. Silicone gaskets are very flexible at low temperatures, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and hygienic. With the ability to be autoclaved, irradiated and gas sterilized, Platinum Cured Silicone Gaskets provide you with the ultimate high purity contact surface.

The curing process of Silicone Gaskets has a direct affect on the amount and type of extractables the hygienic seal will emit. The peroxide curing process leaves residuals of Benzoic Acid (the curing additive) that results in unwanted surface conditions that can lead to product contamination. The platinum curing process eliminates this problem and minimizes reaction between the gasket and process fluids. These gasket are post cured and will not cause cell mutation or growth retardation. Our Platinum Cured Silicone Gaskets maintain and uphold ultrapure water and cGMP process fluid standards. These gaskets have been manufactured from milled gum silicone which offers superior resistance to tearing and deformation when compared to traditional liquid injection molding silicone.
