Epdm rubber gasket

An EPDM rubber gasket is one of the most commonly used rubber gaskets. It can withstand both high and low temperatures, it has excellent resistance to various environmental impacts, it is water and dust resistant, and it also boasts superior chemical resistance. The EPDM rubber gasket is an excellent insulator that can also be various applications. EPDM is an elastomer, which means it’s highly flexible. It bonds strongly to various materials, providing you with a gasket that won’t split or detach over time, no matter how much it is used. EPDM rubber resists extreme temperatures, making it pliable in both very cold and very hot environments. In fact, EPDM rubber can withstand temperatures as low as negative 40 degrees Celsius and as high as 150 degrees Celsius. EPDM is also very resistant to atmospheric impacts, meaning EPDM gaskets are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Additionally, they are very resilient to natural wear and tear, as well as physical and chemical abrasives.

Rubber gaskets are created with natural and synthetic rubber compounds that form the long-lasting seal between two adjoining surfaces, which is also true for EPDM rubber gaskets. Their incredible resistance to acidic or corrosive substances, low susceptibility to flexing or blistering, and high elasticity make it one of the most commonly used gaskets across various industries. EPDM Rubber gaskets are also more than 30% stronger and more resistant compared to other gaskets, and they can be manufactured in varying shapes, sizes, thicknesses and colours. An EPDM rubber gasket is composed of a high-quality, compressible synthetic rubber material, usually fabricated by an extrusion process, which is why they’re sometimes called extruded gaskets. The chemical technology of EPDM rubber is considerably different from natural rubber in that it does not incorporate natural oils in the ingredients to soften the finished product.
