EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are widely used in various industries for their excellent properties. Here are some key features and applications of EPDM rubber seals: 1. **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is highly resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. This makes it an ideal material for outdoor applications where seals are exposed to varying weather conditions. 2. **Temperature Stability:** EPDM rubber seals maintain their flexibility and performance across a wide temperature range, making them suitable for both hot and cold environments. EPDM can withstand temperatures from -50°C to 150°C (-58°F to 302°F). 3. **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to acids, alkalis, and polar substances. However, it is less resistant to oils and hydrocarbons. The specific chemical environment should be considered when choosing EPDM for sealing applications. 4. **Water and Steam Resistance:** EPDM rubber provides effective sealing against
