EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are widely used in various industries for their excellent sealing properties and versatility. Here are some key aspects of EPDM rubber seals: 1. **Material Composition:** - EPDM is a synthetic rubber compound made from the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. - The specific formulation of EPDM can be adjusted to achieve different properties, such as hardness, flexibility, and chemical resistance. 2. **Weather Resistance:** - EPDM rubber seals are known for their outstanding resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. - This makes them suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight and environmental conditions is common. 3. **Temperature Resistance:** - EPDM rubber maintains its flexibility and sealing properties over a broad temperature range, from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F) or even higher in some formulations. - This temperature resistance makes EPDM seal
