EPDM rubber seal is a sealing material made from Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber. EPDM rubber is highly versatile and resistant to environmental factors, so it's ideal for various applications. From sealing windows and doors in buildings to ensuring airflow and preventing energy loss in HVAC systems, this adaptable seal is trusted and utilised in many ways.
Along with its versatility, EPDM rubber seal is popular due to its impressive weather, UV radiation, ozone, and extreme temperature resistance.
EPDM seal temperature range — what is it?
Typically, EPDM rubber seal can withstand tremendously low temperatures to approximately -40°C (-40°F) and very high temperatures up to 120°C (248°F). Its impressive ability to maintain flexibility and performance within this extreme temperature range makes EPDM rubber ideal for use across the automotive, construction, electrical, telecommunications, marine and plumbing industries.
How is EPDM Rubber Seal Used?
EPDM rubber seal is a dependable choice for many sealing functions and is utilised in many ways. Here are some of the ways that EPDM seal is used:
Construction
In the construction industry, EPDM seals are commonly used in roofing membranes, window and door seals, and expansion joints due to their excellent weatherproofing abilities.
Automotive
Used as weatherstripping on vehicle doors, windows, boots, and bonnets, EPDM seal effectively prevents water, dust, and air leakage.
HVAC Systems
Used in the Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning Systems industry, EPDM rubber is utilised in duct seals and gaskets, ensuring efficient airflow, and preventing energy loss.
Electrical and Telecommunications
EPDM rubber seal is often used in the electrical and telecommunications industry for cable jointing and insulation to protect against moisture and environmental damage.
Marine
Used in hatch and portlight seals, EPDM is trusted to stop any water ingress on boats and ships in the marine industry.
Plumbing
Thanks to its impressive high-temperature range, EPDM seals are used in gaskets and seals for pipes and fittings — especially in hot water systems.
