EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are widely utilized for their excellent sealing properties across various industries. Here's a brief overview: **1. Composition:** - EPDM is a synthetic rubber compound composed of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. - The specific formulation can be adjusted to achieve desired characteristics like flexibility, hardness, and chemical resistance. **2. Weather Resistance:** - EPDM rubber seals excel in resisting weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. - Ideal for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight and environmental elements is common. **3. Temperature Stability:** - Maintains flexibility and sealing effectiveness over a broad temperature range, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F) or higher. - Suitable for applications in both hot and cold environments. **4. Chemical Resistance:** - Exhibits good resistance to various chemicals, acids, alkalis, and polar substances. - T
