EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are widely used for their excellent sealing properties in various applications. Here's a concise overview: **Key Characteristics:** 1. **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is highly resistant to weathering, UV exposure, and ozone. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to the elements is a concern. 2. **Temperature Range:** EPDM rubber maintains its flexibility and performance over a broad temperature range, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F) or higher, depending on the specific formulation. 3. **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to a variety of chemicals, acids, and alkalis. However, it is not recommended for applications involving oils and hydrocarbons. 4. **Water Resistance:** EPDM rubber is impermeable to water, making it an ideal choice for applications where a watertight seal is necessary. 5. **Elasticity and Flexibility:** EPDM is known for its high elasticity and
