EPDM
EPDM - Ethylene propylene diene rubber
EPDM can be used in a wide temperature range, has good resistance to ozone, weathering and ageing and is resistant to hot water and steam. Peroxide cured EPDM materials have better resistance to temperature and chemicals and obtain better compression set values than sulfur cured EPDM.
EPDM has good resistance to:
- hot water and hot steam
- many polar solvents (e.g., alcohols, ketones, esters)
- many organic and inorganic acids and bases
- washing brines
- silicone oils and silicone greases
- glycol-based brake fluids (special grades required)
- ozone, weathering, ageing
EPDM is not resistant to:
-
all kinds of mineral oil products (oils, greases, fuels)
Application temperature range:
- -45°C to +130°C (sulfur cured)
- -55°C to +150°C (peroxide cured)
