EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber seals are widely utilized for sealing applications across various industries. Here's a more detailed look at EPDM rubber seals: ### **Material Composition:** - **Base Polymer:** EPDM is a synthetic rubber made from the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. - The diene monomer introduces unsaturation, allowing for cross-linking during vulcanization, enhancing the rubber's properties. ### **Key Properties:** 1. **Weather Resistance:** - EPDM rubber seals exhibit excellent resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and ozone, making them suitable for outdoor applications with prolonged exposure to the elements. 2. **Temperature Resistance:** - EPDM maintains its flexibility and elasticity over a broad temperature range, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). This versatility allows it to perform well in diverse environmental conditions. 3. **Chemical Resistance:** - EPDM rubber is resistant to
