O‑rings for biopharmaceutical applications

Effective sealing for all types of biopharmaceutical processing equipment.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
  • Biopharmaceutical

High purity O-rings are an exceptionally versatile sealing device and the world's most popular volume-produced seal. James Walker has been making high specification, high purity O-rings for the biopharmaceutical market since 2010 and our international customers include virtually every biopharmaceutical manufacturer and many global OEMs who depend on high purity O-rings from James Walker in the safe and effective manufacture of therapeutic product.

We maintain an inventory of over one million O-rings in commonly used sizes and materials, available for same-day shipping. Additionally, with a stock of more than 10,000 moulds we can typically provide non-standard high purity O-rings in a matter of days. We also offer the option to design custom high purity O-ring profiles like D seals to fulfill specific customer needs.

Our high purity O-rings are manufactured from our industry-leading Elast-O-Pure materials, including EP75B and SIL70.

Elast-O-Pure EP75B is specifically designed for use in biopharmaceutical environments. These O-rings are certified to meet USP Class VI standards and are made from ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer, featuring exceptionally low extractable substances. They are characterised by their minimal compression set, ensuring durable and long-lasting sealing performance. Importantly, these O-rings are entirely free of Animal Derived Ingredients (ADI) and showcase impressive resistance to both SIP (Steam-in-Place) and CIP (Clean-in-Place) processes, making them an excellent choice for various applications.

Elast-O-Pure SIL70 is produced from platinum-cured translucent silicone (VMQ) and boasts a range of valuable attributes. It is certified to meet the stringent USP Class VI standards and is composed of material that is completely free of Animal Derived Ingredients (ADI). Additionally, this silicone material demonstrates a low compression set, ensuring reliable and long-lasting sealing performance. It further excels in high-temperature resistance, making it a versatile choice suitable for a wide array of critical applications.

These high purity O-rings in Elast-O-Pure EP75B and SIL70 materials are ideal for critical applications, particularly in biopharmaceutical settings where purity and performance are paramount.
