Epdm rubber opaque tubing
Another type of rubber tubing that you can find in our offer is EPDM rubber opaque tubing, which is used in various industries. This material is a polymer formed by a combination of different monomers: propylene, ethylene, and diene monomers, hence its name. The material from which we make these tubing is a type of synthetic rubber that has certain properties that favor its application. You will find EPDM rubber opaque tubing in the automotive industry, where they are used as hoses for various liquids and gases, in order to heat or cool them. They are also used in HVAC systems, as drainage pipes. EPDM rubber opaque tubing is nowadays more and more present in the military industry, where it is used for the production of safety equipment, but you can also find them in machines and systems within other industries, where they have a more general application.
Some of the most important characteristics of EPDM rubber that make it a widely used and practical material is great flexibility, durability, and longevity. Regular rubber is very sensitive to temperature changes, so it can easily be damaged and change its properties. This is not the case with EPDM rubber which withstands very high and low temperatures very well and remains stable for a very long time despite exposure to this influence. It is also resistant to factors such as UV rays, ozone, and oxygen, which can be very practical. It also shows excellent chemical resistance to alcohol, ketones, and other substances. EPDM also has excellent electrical properties. It shows increased sensitivity to petroleum products.
The great thing is that we produce EPDM rubber opaque tubing to your liking, so you can choose their inner and outer diameter, color and completely adjust the thickness of the wall to the pressure to which these tubing will be exposed. Contact us and let us know how we can help you.

Discuss Your RequirementsProduct specifications
- Product form
- Hollow elastomer tubing for a fitted line or sleeve
- Material
- EPDM. Specify the compound grade for the selected service.
- Application focus
- Vehicle hose runs and drainage connections. Size the part against the selected assembly.
- Dimensions to confirm
- Inside diameter, outside diameter, wall thickness and cut length. Match these to vehicle hose runs and drainage connections.
- Opacity
- Specify the required light blocking and check the finished wall thickness rather than relying on color alone.
- Contact conditions
- Oxygen: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Exposure to evaluate
- Heat and cold cycling, sunlight or UV and ozone. Validate the selected material under the combined conditions.
- Line layout
- Check bend radius, unsupported spans and clearance at both connections.
