EPDM Rubber Seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are commonly used in various industries and applications for their excellent sealing properties and durability. Here's an overview of EPDM rubber seals: **Material Properties**: 1. **Weather Resistance**: EPDM rubber is known for its exceptional resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure, making it ideal for outdoor and exposed applications. 2. **Temperature Resistance**: EPDM seals maintain their flexibility and sealing effectiveness over a broad temperature range, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). 3. **Chemical Resistance**: EPDM rubber has good resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and some solvents. However, it's not recommended for use with petroleum-based oils and fuels. 4. **Water and Steam Resistance**: EPDM seals are highly effective at preventing the penetration of water and steam, making them valuable in applications such as plumbing, HVAC systems, and
