EPDM O-ring

O-ring EPDM An o-ring is a type of seal commonly used in static or dynamic applications where liquids or gases must be prevented from escaping. EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a type of synthetic rubber often used to make O-rings due to its excellent chemical and heat resistance. EPDM o-rings are commonly used in a variety of applications including automotive, plumbing and aerospace industry. They are resistant to a wide range of chemicals including acids, alkalis and alcohols and can withstand temperatures from -40°C to 150°C. In addition, EPDM o-rings are known for their excellent electrical insulating properties and low compression set, which means they retain their original shape even after compression. In general, EPDM o-rings are a popular choice for many applications due to their durability, versatility, and environmental resistance. EPDM o-rings are short for ethylene, propylene, diene and monomer and are a group of synthetic rubbers or elastomers.
