EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber is a synthetic elastomer widely used for various applications, including seals. EPDM rubber seals are popular in automotive, construction, and industrial settings due to their excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, UV exposure, and a wide range of temperatures. Here are some key characteristics and applications of EPDM rubber seals: 1. **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber seals are known for their outstanding resistance to weathering and ozone exposure. This makes them suitable for outdoor applications, where they can withstand sunlight and other environmental factors without significant degradation. 2. **Temperature Range:** EPDM has a broad operating temperature range, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). This thermal stability allows EPDM rubber seals to perform well in both hot and cold environments. 3. **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to a variety of chemicals, acids, and alkalis. However, its pe
