Greene Tweed’s expanded portfolio of sealing solutions meet the stringent cleanliness, traceability, FDA, and regulatory compliance needs of the pharmaceutical processing industry.

Greene Tweed custom-engineers solutions with its chemical-resistant Chemraz FFKM, Fusion FKM, Fluoraz FEPM, and other materials to meet or exceed quality requirements, including United States Pharmacopeia (USP), FDA, and ISO product standards. With low leachable profiles, these specialty compounds maintain their inert nature in highly demanding conditions.

Greene Tweed products include custom-engineered seals, gaskets, and o-rings. For pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and aseptic processing, Greene Tweed sanitary gaskets enable fast and reliable connection of flanged tubes that periodically open. Their non-sticky elastomer formulation enables quick and easily gasket installation.

Greene Tweed Metal Spring Energized (MSE) seals create a leak-free seal without excessive friction and wear by applying calculated spring force directly over sealing lips. MSE seals operate from cryogenic to 625°F (329°C) and available in custom sizes.
