EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are commonly used for a variety of sealing applications due to their unique combination of properties. Here are some key points about EPDM rubber seals: 1. **Material Composition:** - EPDM is a synthetic rubber compound composed of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. The presence of the diene monomer allows for cross-linking during vulcanization, enhancing the material's strength and resilience. 2. **Key Properties:** - **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is known for its excellent resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to the elements is common. - **Temperature Range:** EPDM maintains flexibility and elasticity across a wide temperature range, from very low temperatures to high temperatures. - **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to various chemicals, acids, and alkalis. However, it may not be as resistant to
