EPDM GASKETS
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) gaskets are made from synthetic rubber and are known for their excellent weather and ozone resistance. EPDM rubber’s temperature resistance is another great benefit, offering a solid temperature range of as low as -60° Fahrenheit and up to 300° Fahrenheit.
EPDM rubber is not particularly well know for use in applications where there is direct contact with petroleum-based products as it has poor resistance to oils, greases, and fuels.
Common applications for EPDM gaskets
- Automotive Industry: EPDM gaskets are widely used in the automotive industry for sealing applications in engines, transmissions, and exhaust systems.
- Aerospace Industry: EPDM gaskets are used in the aerospace industry for sealing applications in engines, fuel systems, and hydraulic systems.
