EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are widely used in various industries for their versatile sealing properties. Here's a summary of key characteristics and common applications: **Key Characteristics:** 1. **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is highly resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure, making it suitable for outdoor applications. 2. **Temperature Range:** EPDM maintains its flexibility and performance across a wide 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 ideal for applications where a watertight seal is necessary. 5. **Elasticity and Flexibility:** EPDM is known for its high elasticity and flexibility, allo
