EPDM rubber gaskets elastomer

EPDM rubber gasket  elastomer is a sealing gasket made of EPDM (ethylene propylene rubber) material. EPDM rubber has excellent weather resistance, chemical resistance and aging resistance, so it is widely used in various applications, especially in the field of sealing of piping systems and industrial equipment.

The main features and advantages of EPDM rubber gaskets include

Weather resistance: EPDM rubber has excellent weather resistance and can resist the effects of ultraviolet rays, oxygen, ozone and atmospheric conditions, maintaining its physical properties and sealing effect for a long time.

Chemical resistance: EPDM rubber has good corrosion resistance to many chemical substances, can resist the erosion of acids, alkalis, solvents and other media, and is suitable for various chemical processes and environments.

High temperature resistance: EPDM rubber can still maintain good elasticity and sealing properties under high temperature conditions, and can usually withstand temperatures ranging from -50°C to 150°C.

Elasticity and resilience: EPDM rubber gaskets have good elasticity and resilience, providing reliable sealing performance at flange connections and resisting vibration and deformation.

Food-grade certification: Some EPDM rubber gaskets meet food-grade certification requirements and can be safely used in food, pharmaceuticals, beverages and other related industries.

EPDM rubber gaskets are widely used in many industries, such as chemical industry, food processing, water supply systems, HVAC, etc.
