EPDM O-Rings

 

EPDM O-Rings:

Normally used with foods, water, steam applications, phosphate ester type hydraulic fluids, brake fluids and offer great resistance to ozone and weathering. Sulfur-Cured FDA Grade EPDM is the least costly and provides the best tear and abrasion resistance compared to Peroxide-Cured Systems. EPDM's are not used with petroleum oils or fuels because significant swelling would result.

Chemical Resistance and Uses:

  • Hot water and steam up to 300°F (149°C) with special compounds up to 400°F (204°C)
  • Various Water / Municipalities Applications
  • Household Appliances
  • Glycol based brake fluids up to 300°F (149°C)
  • Many organic and inorganic acid
  • Cleaning agents, soda and potassium alkalis
  • Phosphate-ester based hydraulic fluids (HFD-R)
  • Silicone Oil and Grease
  • Many polar solvents (alcohols, ketones, esters)
  • Ozone, aging and weather resistant
  • Outdoor Applications
  • Electrical Insulators
  • EPDM rubber is used in extreme cold environment applications
