Epdm Rubber Sheet Properties

Sulfur cured epdm is the least costly and provides better tear and abrasion resistance compared to peroxide cured compounds.

Epdm rubber sheet properties.

This material is compatible with fireproof hydraulic fluids ketones water temperature fluctuations and alkalis. Epdm has excellent resistance to heat ozone and sunlight and good resistance to alkalis acids and oxygenated solvents. Up to 350 f up to 177 c. Epdm is an m class rubber under astm standard d 1418.

Edpm rubber also known as ep rubber is a type of synthetic rubber elastomer characterized by a wide range of applications. The m class comprises elastomers having a saturated chain of the polyethylene type the m deriving from the more correct term polymethylene. The key properties of epdm rubber are its outstanding heat ozone and weather resistance along with excellent electrical insulating properties. Tensile strength tensile range.

Epdm is also steam resistant functioning in up to 392 degrees f 200 c without air and chemical resistant including to polar fluids. Very good temperature flexibility superior resistance to water and steam. It can resist abrasion uv rays ozone aging and weather and it s the most waterproof rubber available. It is highly extendible and is sulfur and peroxide curable.

Epdm astm d 2000 classification. Epdm provides superior properties for outdoor and high temperature applications. Epdm compounds are frequently used with foods water steam and phosphate ester fluids skydrol applications and offer the excellent resistance to brake fluids glycol base weather and ozone. Temperature range low temperature usage 20 to 60 f 29 c to 51 c.

Epdm s biggest advantages lie in how weatherproof it is outdoors.
