EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are widely used for their versatility and excellent sealing properties. Here's a comprehensive overview: 1. **Material Composition:** - **EPDM Rubber:** This is a synthetic elastomer made from the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. The specific composition can be adjusted to achieve desired characteristics. 2. **Key Properties of EPDM Rubber Seals:** - **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber exhibits exceptional resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone, making it well-suited for outdoor applications. - **Temperature Resistance:** EPDM maintains its flexibility and sealing performance over a wide temperature range, from extremely cold to high temperatures. - **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM rubber has good resistance to various chemicals, acids, and alkalis, enhancing its suitability for applications where exposure to different substances is likely. - **Water Resistance:** EPDM rubber is
