EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are commonly used in a variety of applications for their excellent sealing properties. Here's a more concise overview: **Composition:** - EPDM is a synthetic rubber compound made up of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. This composition results in a highly durable and versatile rubber with excellent properties. **Sealing Properties:** - **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber seals are highly resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure, making them ideal for outdoor applications. - **Temperature Resistance:** EPDM can withstand a broad temperature range from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F), making it suitable for both hot and cold environments. - **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to various chemicals, acids, and alkalis, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications. - **Water and Steam Resistance:** EPDM rubber maintains its sealing properties when in contact with water and steam,
