Certified Materials: engineered for the most demanding applications

In an increasingly competitive global market, navigating products, solutions and suppliers is not always easy. This is especially true in the home appliance, automotive and building sectors, where quality, safety and regulatory compliance have become essential requirements.

Today, choosing a partner means assessing not only its production capacity, but also the reliability of its processes, materials and components. 

In this context, certifications issued by independent third-party bodies provide tangible assurance. They confirm that a product has been tested according to recognized standards and meets specific requirements in for quality, safety, hygiene and performance. 

For ILPEA, this approach is an integral part of how we operate. 

ILPEA is a certified partner, supplying materials and components that meet the standards required by increasingly complex applications. 

Our portfolio includes certified compounds and components designed for a wide range of applications. Certifications issued by organizations such as NSF and UL Solutions demonstrate our ongoing commitment to quality, safety and reliability. 

Our certifications and approvals include those covering food-contact and drinking water applications.

ILPEA manufactures gaskets and hoses certified to NSF/ANSI 51 for use in commercial foodservice equipment. 

In addition, we can supply components that comply with EU Regulation No. 10/2011, which sets out specific requirements for plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. 

For drinking water applications, ILPEA manufactures materials and components that meet market-specific requirements, including DVGW/KTW-BWGL requirements, for Germany and WRAS approvals, requirements for the UK. These certifications and approvals help ensure that hoses and gaskets that come into contact with water intended for human consumption do not compromise water quality. 

ILPEA also produces thermoplastic materials certified for resistance to microorganisms. This requirement is particularly relevant for gaskets used in high-humid environments, such as washing machine bellows, dishwasher door seals, and refrigerator seals.

Our compound portfolio also includes solutions certified for long-term sealing performance at high temperatures (up to 105 °C) in both industrial and household applications.  

Finally ILPEA manufactures flame-resistant compounds engineered for applications in which fire safety is a key requirement, such as automotive and building applications.

In a global landscape where customer expectations, regulations and safety standards continue to evolve, relying on certified materials helps reduce complexity, build trust, and deliver safer, more reliable solutions.
