EPDM rubber seals
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a type of synthetic rubber widely used for various applications, including seals. EPDM rubber seals are known for their excellent weather resistance, heat resistance, and durability. Here are some key characteristics and applications of EPDM rubber seals: 1. **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is highly resistant to weathering, ozone, and UV exposure. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to the elements is a concern. 2. **Temperature Resistance:** EPDM can withstand a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). This thermal stability makes it suitable for applications in both hot and cold environments. 3. **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to acids, alkalis, and ketones. However, it may not be as resistant to oils and hydrocarbons as some other rubber compounds. 4. **Water Resistance:** EPDM has excellent water resistance, making it suitable for sealing applications where
