EPDM gaskets are made of a black plate finish sheet with superior resistance to weathering, ozone and UV exposure. EPDM gaskets provide excellent chemical resistance*, and good electrical properties. EPDM gaskets resist animal and vegetable oils, steam, water and oxygenated solvents.
Due to the EPDM rubber materials' excellent resistance to aging, ozone, and weathering, the EPDM rubber gaskets are widely used in external applications. The EPDM gaskets are made of EPDM rubber elastomer and have an impermeable surface which is ideal for use with most alkalines, ketones and diluted acids, offering strong abrasion resistance.
In medium-range sealing applications, EPDM gaskets are widely used and as flange gaskets, manway seals or low-pressure pipe seals.
EPDM gaskets are the most often specified gasket choice because of their ozone resistance. If your gasket will be outdoors and exposed to temperatures between -40 C and 120 C the EPDM gasket is a great choice.
