EPDM Rubber Seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are commonly used in various industries for their excellent properties and versatility. Here are some key characteristics and applications of EPDM rubber seals: **1. Chemical Composition:** - EPDM is a synthetic rubber made from the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. The presence of the diene monomer gives EPDM its unique properties, such as resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering. **2. Key Properties:** - **Weather Resistance:** EPDM seals are known for their excellent resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. This makes them suitable for outdoor applications. - **Temperature Resistance:** EPDM rubber maintains its flexibility and elasticity across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). - **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to a variety of chemicals, acids, and alkalis. - **Water Resistance:** EPDM is impermeable to water and pr
