EPDM Rubber Seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are widely used for their excellent sealing properties and durability in various applications. Here's an overview of EPDM rubber seals: **Material Properties**: 1. **Weather Resistance**: EPDM rubber is highly resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure, making it suitable for outdoor and exposed applications. 2. **Temperature Resistance**: EPDM seals maintain their flexibility and sealing effectiveness across a wide 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 steam systems. 5. **Electrical ...
