At Sherwood Industries Inc., we extrude both sheet and profile using Santoprene (EPDM/PP) grades approved for NSF 61 and NSF 51 applications. These grades are used in drinking water and food-contact parts because they don’t break down in moisture, don’t affect taste or odor, and hold their properties over long service life.

Why These Grades Matter

NSF 61 and NSF 51 compliant Santoprene (EPDM/PP) grades are formulated for direct contact with water and food-related systems. They stay consistent from batch to batch and maintain their physical properties over time. That makes these grades a dependable option for seals, gaskets, connectors, and dispenser parts that require consistent performance throughout long term use.

Benefits for Customers

Sheet and profiles made from Santoprene (EPDM/PP) can help customers get seals, gaskets, and die-cut parts that hold their shape, stay sealed, and remain stable in contact with water or food-related products. It doesn’t introduce taste, odor, or contamination and keeps its properties over time, which is important for applications that require NSF 61 and NSF 51 certified materials. This gives customers steady, reliable performance without the part changing once it’s installed.
