EPDM Rubber Seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are widely used for their excellent sealing properties and versatility in various applications. Here's a closer look at EPDM rubber seals: **1. Material Properties**: - **Weather Resistance**: EPDM rubber seals are known for their outstanding resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. This property makes them suitable for outdoor and exposed applications. - **Temperature Resistance**: EPDM seals maintain their flexibility and sealing performance across a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). - **Chemical Resistance**: EPDM rubber has good resistance to a range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and some solvents. However, it's not well-suited for use with petroleum-based oils and fuels. - **Water and Steam Resistance**: EPDM rubber is highly effective at preventing the ingress of water and steam, which makes it ideal for applications in plumbing, HVAC systems, and s
