Epdm rubber opaque tubing
EPDM rubber opaque tubing is a synthetic polymer consisting of ethylene, propylene, and diene. These chemicals when combined with rubber offer great characteristics with many possible applications. They have great thermal resistance abilities with additional resistance of oxygen and ozone. That makes the epdm rubber opaque tubing item durable even when exposed to outdoor conditions such as sun and moisture. In addition, this tube withstands polar chemicals, alcohol. However, it is not meant for transporting petroleum derivates since they degrade the tube.
The characteristics of the epdm rubber make this tubing suitable for many applications. For example, they find their way both in domestic and industrialized use as well. In our home, this tube is found in a way of water hose that we use to clean our vehicles and water our plants. In the industries, these tubing pieces are being used for coolant tubes in vehicles, hydraulic systems, and controlling emissions. In addition, this type of rubber is usually being used in the protection of wiring because of the thermal stability. In addition, its wall thickness helps in avoiding abrasive damage on the cables. With the great features, such as temperature resistance, great electrical assets, and elasticity, there are many more possible applications.
As with any other type of tubing, you need to be sure that the fitment will be precise. For that reason, proceed to take the right measurements of the connectors where the tube has to be installed. If you have planned this tube for electrical protection, make sure the lumen has enough space for the required wiring. After acquiring the right measurements, you should proceed to find the matching piece in the list on our site. In case you have trouble finding the exact epdm rubber opaque tubing piece, our firm can produce custom tubing for your project. Consider purchasing a slightly longer tube because it is easier to cut it precisely when it arrives than wondering if you have ordered the right length.

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 cable sleeving. 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 cable sleeving.
- Opacity
- Specify the required light blocking and check the finished wall thickness rather than relying on color alone.
- Contact conditions
- Oxygen, water and hydraulic fluid: define concentration, temperature and contact time, then check compatibility with the chosen compound.
- Exposure to evaluate
- Ozone, outdoor weather, moisture and rubbing or abrasion. Validate the selected material under the combined conditions.
- Line layout
- Check bend radius, unsupported spans and clearance at both connections.
