EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are commonly used in various industries for their excellent properties and versatility. EPDM is a synthetic rubber that offers a combination of high resistance to weathering, ozone, UV exposure, and a wide range of temperatures. Here are some key characteristics and applications of EPDM rubber seals: **Key Characteristics:** 1. **Weather Resistance:** EPDM is known for its outstanding resistance to weathering, ozone, and UV exposure. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight and the elements is a concern. 2. **Temperature Range:** EPDM rubber seals can withstand a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F) or even higher, depending on the specific formulation. 3. **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to a variety of chemicals, acids, and alkalis. It is not suitable for applications involving oils and hydrocarbons. 4. **Water Resistance:** EPDM has excellent wate
