EPDM rubber seals
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber seals are widely used for their excellent properties in various sealing applications. Here are some key aspects of EPDM rubber seals: 1. **Material Composition:** - EPDM is a synthetic rubber composed of ethylene, propylene, and a diene monomer. - The presence of the diene monomer allows for cross-linking during vulcanization, enhancing the material's strength and durability. 2. **Properties:** - **Weather Resistance:** EPDM rubber is known for its exceptional resistance to weathering, UV exposure, and ozone. This makes it suitable for outdoor applications. - **Temperature Range:** EPDM maintains flexibility and elasticity over a broad temperature range, typically from -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 248°F). - **Chemical Resistance:** EPDM exhibits good resistance to acids, alkalis, and polar substances, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. 3. **Applications:** - **Automotive Industry:** EPDM rubber se
