EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are widely used in various industries for their excellent properties that make them well-suited for sealing applications. Here are some key characteristics and common uses of EPDM rubber seals: **Characteristics:** 1. **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is known for its exceptional resistance to weathering, ozone, and UV exposure. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to the elements is a concern. 2. **Temperature Resistance:** EPDM can withstand a wide range of temperatures, from very high to very low, without losing its flexibility or structural integrity. 3. **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM rubber has good resistance to a variety of chemicals, acids, and alkalis. However, its resistance to oils and hydrocarbons is somewhat limited compared to certain other rubber types. 4. **Flexibility:** EPDM remains flexible even at low temperatures, allowing it to conform to irregular shapes and maintain a seal over
