ClearCycle+™

Next-generation stem gaskets

CLEANER PRODUCTION. LONGER RUNS. FEWER SURPRISES.

Talc-Free and Silicone-Free ClearCycle+™ Next-Generation Stem Gaskets are engineered to eliminate the hidden production inefficiencies caused by silicone residue, talc dust, rework, and short shelf life. By addressing these challenges at the source, ClearCycle+ helps brands and integrators keep lines running longer, reduce maintenance and rework, and protect both supply continuity and the consumer experience.

The Challenge

The hidden cost of tradition stem gaskets

Many stem gasket challenges don’t appear in specifications, they appear on the production floor:

Silicone residue contaminates tooling and increases cleaning downtime
Sticking gaskets require rework and additional handling
Talc dust settles on sensors, conveyors, and equipment
Short shelf life increases scrap, write-offs, and supply risk

ClearCycle+ is designed to remove these inefficiencies, not manage their consequences.

The ClearCycle+ Difference

Non-stick performance

Talc and silicone-free

FDA compliant

Minimal line interventions

Increased production time and efficiency

Cleaner, more stable production environments

Up to two years shelf life

ROI & operational impact

Downtime reduction & efficiency

Fewer cleaning cycles and unplanned line stops
Reduced maintenance burden on tooling
More productive hours per shift and higher OEE

Inventory & supply chain flexibility

4× longer shelf life versus traditional siliconized gaskets
Lower scrap and write-off risk
inventory flexibility
Less emergency shipments
Ocean freight delays matter less

Total cost of ownership

Less labor spent on rework and monitoring
Reduced logistics and administrative cost per unit
Lower hidden costs beyond the component price
