EPDM Rubber Seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are widely used in various industries and applications due to their excellent sealing properties and resilience in challenging environments. Here's a comprehensive overview of EPDM rubber seals: **Material Properties**: 1. **Weather Resistance**: EPDM rubber is highly resistant 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 performance 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 variety of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and some solvents. However, it's not suitable 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, HVA
