Foodservice Equipment Sealing Solutions

Cooper Standard ISG is highly experienced at specifying and compounding silicone for extreme temperature applications, including low and high-temperature storage equipment. We offer dense and sponge silicone formulations, provide color options, and meet FDA/NSF compliance regulations. Learn more about our silicone's working temperature or custom silicone extrusions.  

EPDM offers excellent compression performance with a favorable cost profile. Cooper Standard ISG formulates the material to meet FDA/NSF requirements, with available products in sponge and dense materials and colorized options. See more about our EPDM materials and how we can help optimize your applications with high-quality rubber. 

PVC is a go-to thermoplastic vinyl for many door sealing applications because of its low cost and heat-weldable capabilities, which allow for flexible manufacturing and assembly. Our proven PVC processing expertise involves —spanning grades from rubbery soft, to semi-rigid, to rigid. This process can help food service equipment manufacturers achieve outstanding sealing solutions at even the most sensitive budget levels. See why our plastic materials are the best for meeting your applications' demands. 

Cooper Standard ISG engineers can help you develop a superior cost/performance value story with our in-house thermoplastic material expertise, including polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon, Santoprene, and Fortrex™. Learn more about our thermoplastic materials and how they can improve your next project. 

Applying a peel-off adhesive to a delivered part helps to quickly attach the seal in your facility, lowering labor costs. We even provide many FDA/NSF adhesives approved for food contact that can speed the assembly of ice makers, refrigerators, ovens and more. Learn more about choosing the proper rubber adhesives. 

Customized seal printing solutions are valuable to production or communication processes. They can include everything from the printing of a part number, or placement symbols, to printing “FDA Approved” messages to instill confidence in retailers or customers. 

Cooper Standard ISG custom cuts extrusions to the exact lengths needed. Cutting processes include punching, angle cutting, notching, and drilling to fit the seal precisely to the application form and improve assembly.

We pre-glue long seal lengths with expert quality control and FDA/NSF-approved adhesives to save you assembly steps at your facility.

Seals can be factory-coated to lower the coefficient of friction for faster and easier manual assembly. Other select coatings can be specified to provide additional protection against the elements, wear, abrasion and more.

Our world-class extrusion expertise involves using individual thermoplastics, thermosets, EPDM and silicones. We also extrude multiple materials into a single part to optimize essential properties, such as compression and/or the insertion of rigid material. See more about our custom extrusion solutions.

Metal (often aluminum or steel) and rubber hybrid components can also be created using FDA/NSF-compliant adhesives, which are effective for bottom bumper and vibration-damping applications. Cooper Standard ISG engineers are experts in optimizing process parameters and maintaining tight tolerances to achieve the highest quality results. Learn more about our molding strategies and how our materials and vast processes can best suit your application. 

Cooper Standard ISG can tap into expertise in compression molding, transfer molding, injection molding and more. From molded features such as O-rings and other multi-dimensional features, we ensure that our silicones are FDA/NSF approved and utilized in foodservice equipment applications.
