EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are widely used in various industries for their excellent properties and versatility in sealing applications. Here are some key points regarding EPDM rubber seals: **1. Characteristics of EPDM Rubber:** - **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is highly resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to the elements is a concern. - **Temperature Range:** EPDM rubber has a broad operating temperature range, typically from -50°C to +150°C (-58°F to +302°F), making it suitable for both hot and cold environments. - **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to a variety of chemicals, acids, and alkaline substances. However, it is less resistant to oils and petroleum-based products compared to some other rubber compounds. - **Flexibility and Elasticity:** EPDM rubber is known for its flexibility and elastic properties, allowing it to adapt to v
