Food-grade rubber is a material particularly suited to applications in contact with foodstuffs, in particular those containing fats such as milk and dairy products, oils, and vegetable and animal fats. Thanks to its unique properties, food-grade rubber is widely used as a gasket in food-processing plants, ensuring safety and compliance with the strictest food regulations.
In nature, rubber occurs as a colloidal suspension in the latex of certain plants, with the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) as the main source. This plant, native to South America, is now grown in many other tropical regions, including Indonesia, the Malay Peninsula and Sri Lanka. From the latex extracted from this plant, natural rubber is produced, one of the purest forms of natural rubber.
Rubbers obtained from the latex of other plants can contain contaminants and require a refining process before use. For example, gutta-percha and balata, produced by various tropical sapotaceae, are important crude rubbers that must be purified. During the Second World War, other plants such as Parthenium argentatum and Russian dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz) were cultivated to produce rubber in response to the difficulty of accessing Hevea plantations.
