EPDM gaskets, also known as Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer gaskets, are widely used in various industrial applications due to their exceptional qualities. These gaskets are made from EPDM, a synthetic elastomer known for its outstanding resistance to weathering, ozone, UV radiation, and a wide range of chemicals. This makes EPDM highly suitable for sealing applications.
One of the remarkable characteristics of EPDM gaskets is their durability, flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures. They can maintain their sealing effectiveness across a broad temperature range, from -40°C to +150°C (-40°F to +302°F), enabling their usage in both indoor and outdoor applications.
In addition to standard EPDM gaskets, there is a specialized variant known as silicone compatible EPDM. This specific type of EPDM rubber is formulated to be compatible with silicone materials, ensuring reliable sealing and compatibility with silicone-based substances.
