EPDM Rubber Seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are commonly used in various industries for sealing and gasketing applications due to their excellent properties. Here are some key characteristics and applications of EPDM rubber seals: 1. **Material Composition**: EPDM is a synthetic rubber compound created through the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. This specific composition gives EPDM its unique properties. 2. **Weather Resistance**: EPDM rubber is known for its exceptional resistance to weathering, UV (ultraviolet) radiation, ozone exposure, and temperature fluctuations. This makes it ideal for outdoor applications where it must endure harsh environmental conditions. 3. **Temperature Range**: EPDM rubber can operate effectively within a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F). It remains flexible and maintains its sealing properties within this range. 4. **Chemical Resistance**: EPDM rubber exhibits good resistance t
