EPDM Rubber Gaskets
EPDM rubber gaskets have excellent resistance to ozone and UV sunlight, making them great for outdoor applications. Long service life.
Description
EPDM rubber gaskets are a type of synthetic elastomer seal that is resistant to steam and chemicals at a cheap cost. The gaskets are very resistant to water and steam. EPDM is a synthetic rubber that is widely used for various applications. EPDM is one of the most versatile and long-lasting rubbers available, with excellent heat, weather, and ozone resistance.
Advantages and Benefits
EPDM rubber gaskets provide excellent heat, weather, and ozone resistance. The gaskets offer long-lasting sealing power in temperatures ranging from -50°C to 130°C.
Applications
Our peroxide-cured EPDM rubber gaskets exceed FDA standards for food applications. These gaskets are suitable for usage with acetone, automotive braking fluid, Skydrol, steam, and water. They are low cost and have excellent steam and chemical resistance, making them ideal for applications that involve solvents, acids, and other mild chemicals.
They are commonly used in the automobile industry, medical equipment, and water and wastewater systems.
EPDM has low compatibility with most mineral- and petroleum-based oils; hence, it is rarely employed in those applications.
