EPDM Rubber Seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are widely used in various industries and applications for their excellent sealing properties and resilience in challenging environments. Here's an overview of EPDM rubber seals: **Material Properties**: 1. **Weather Resistance**: EPDM rubber is highly resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure, making it an ideal choice for outdoor applications where exposure to the elements is common. 2. **Temperature Resistance**: EPDM seals maintain their flexibility and sealing effectiveness across a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). 3. **Chemical Resistance**: EPDM rubber exhibits good resistance to a variety of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and some solvents. However, it is less suitable for use with petroleum-based oils and fuels. 4. **Water and Steam Resistance**: EPDM seals are particularly effective at preventing the ingress of water and steam, making them valuable in app
