What are the properties of EPDM?
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber) is an elastomer with high resistance to water, glycols, brake fluids, acids, and alkalis. The gaskets are temperature resistant from -50 °C to 130 °C and can withstand pressures of up to 16 bar depending on the medium, and in certain applications up to 50 bar. However, EPDM is not suitable for applications with mineral oils, fuels, and non-polar solvents.
