Frequently Asked Questions About Food & Beverage Seals

What types of seals are safe for food and beverage processing?

Seals made from NSF 51- and 61-certified materials, like peroxide-cured EPDM, are safe for use in food and beverage systems. These materials are designed to resist chemicals, heat, and cleaning agents used in sanitary environments.

What’s the difference between NSF 51 and NSF 61?

- NSF 51 covers materials used in food equipment (e.g., mixers, dispensers, prep surfaces)
- NSF 61 applies to components used in drinking water systems

North Coast Seal offers materials certified for both, simplifying compliance for dual-use applications.

What’s the best sealing material for beverage dispensing equipment?

EPDM, silicone rubber, and other NSF 51/61 materials offer the flexibility, cleanliness, and resistance needed for beverage systems—especially those exposed to carbonation, cleaning chemicals, or heat.

Can you help us choose the right food-safe seal for our product?

Absolutely. We’ll review your application’s exposure conditions and recommend a sealing solution that meets regulatory requirements and maximizes performance.
