EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are commonly used for a variety of sealing applications due to their excellent properties. Here's an overview: 1. **Material Composition:** - EPDM is a synthetic rubber made from the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. - The composition can be tailored to achieve specific properties such as flexibility, hardness, and resistance to environmental factors. 2. **Key Properties:** - **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is known for its exceptional resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. This makes it well-suited for outdoor applications. - **Temperature Tolerance:** EPDM maintains flexibility across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). - **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM has moderate resistance to chemicals, acids, and alkalis. However, it may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to oils and certain solvents. - **Flexibility and Elasticity:** EPDM ...
