EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are widely used for their versatile properties and effective sealing capabilities. 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 diene monomer provides sites for cross-linking during vulcanization, which contributes to the material's durability and resilience. 2. **Properties:** - **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is known for its excellent resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone exposure. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications. - **Temperature Range:** EPDM maintains its flexibility and elasticity over a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). - **Chemical Resistance:** It exhibits good resistance to acids, alkalis, and polar substances, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. 3. **Applications:*...
