EPDM Rubber Seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are commonly used in various industries for their excellent sealing properties and versatility. Here are some key characteristics and applications of EPDM rubber seals: **Key Characteristics:** 1. **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is known for its exceptional resistance to weathering, UV radiation, ozone, and temperature fluctuations. This makes it suitable for outdoor and long-term applications. 2. **Temperature Range:** EPDM rubber can withstand a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C (-40°F) to 150°C (302°F), allowing it to perform well in both hot and cold environments. 3. **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM rubber exhibits good resistance to a variety of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and polar solvents, making it suitable for applications where exposure to different substances is expected. 4. **UV and Ozone Resistance:** Its resistance to UV radiation and ozone makes EPDM rubber seals ideal for outdoor application
