This article will introduce the material characteristics, market status and future development trend of EPDM automotive solenoid valve seals in detail.

EPDM material properties

EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a synthetic rubber made from the copolymerization of ethylene, propylene, and a small amount of unconjugated diolefins. Due to its excellent weather resistance, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, and good elasticity, EPDM has a wide range of applications in the field of automotive seals. Specifically, EPDM seals have the following characteristics:

High temperature resistance

EPDM seals maintain stable performance in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +150°C, meeting the requirements of high-temperature environments in automotive engine compartments.

Corrosion resistance

EPDM has good corrosion resistance to most acids, alkalis, salts and other chemicals, and effectively prevents the sealing ring from being damaged due to chemical corrosion.

Anti-aging

The EPDM seal has excellent anti-aging performance and can maintain good performance and elasticity even during long-term use.

Electrical insulation

EPDM has good electrical insulation properties and can be used to manufacture seals in high-voltage environments, such as ignition coil seals.

Eco-friendly

EPDM is a non-toxic, odorless and environmentally friendly material, which meets the needs of the modern automobile industry for environmentally friendly materials.
