EPDM Rubber Seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are commonly used in various industries for their exceptional properties. Here are some key aspects regarding EPDM rubber seals: **1. Composition:** - EPDM is a synthetic elastomer made from the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. The diene monomer introduces unsaturation, which allows for cross-linking and enhances the rubber's properties. **2. Key Properties:** - **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is highly resistant to weathering, UV exposure, and ozone. This makes it well-suited for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight and environmental conditions is a concern. - **Temperature Resistance:** EPDM maintains its flexibility and elastic properties across a wide temperature range, from -50°C to +150°C (-58°F to +302°F). This versatility allows for use in both cold and hot environments. - **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to a variety of chemicals, acids, alkali
