ClearCycle+™

Next-generation stem gaskets

CLEANER PRODUCTION. LONGER RUNS. FEWER SURPRISES.

image

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
