2020-04-17

Advantages of EPDM Rubber Gaskets

EPDM rubber gaskets provide reliable, long-term sealing in extreme weather conditions and over a wide range of temperatures. Compared to other rubber materials, EPDM offers excellent resistance against aging, wear, wind, weather, ozone, and ultraviolet light.

EPDM rubber is also color-stable, which means that EPDM gaskets won’t stain mating surfaces. EPDM gasketing also provides good electrical insulation; however, custom gaskets made of EPDM rubber are not recommended for contact with most oils, gasoline, halogenated solvents, and concentrated acids.
