EPDM Rubber

A: We manufacture according to ISO 3302-1 Class E1 for solid profiles and Class E2 for sponge profiles. Custom laser inline detectors monitor profile dimensions in real time during extrusion to maintain dimensional consistency.

A: Yes. Our polymer chemists can custom-blend EPDM compounds for specific requirements, including UL94 V-0 flame retardancy, low compression set, and high-temperature resistance up to 150 °C. FDA-compliant formulations are also available for applicable food-contact grades.

A: Standard extrusion die tooling and prototype sample production typically take 5–7 working days. Complex co-extrusion or metal-inserted tooling generally requires approximately 10–14 working days.

A: We provide precision cut-to-length services with tolerances down to ±1 mm, along with corner vulcanization and splicing for endless ring gaskets. Pre-applied 3M adhesive backing, custom OEM labeling, and spooling for automated assembly lines are also available.

A: EPDM rubber is commonly used for automotive seals, window and door seals, HVAC components, roofing membranes, electrical insulation, industrial gaskets, and vehicle or container sealing systems where weather, ozone, water, and temperature resistance are required.

A: Standard EPDM compounds typically operate from approximately -40 °C to +120 °C. Peroxide-cured formulations can support temperatures up to approximately +150 °C, depending on the compound and application conditions.

A: Yes. EPDM is well suited to outdoor applications because of its resistance to UV radiation, ozone, moisture, rain, and weathering. It is commonly used for automotive weatherstripping, window seals, roofing membranes, and outdoor industrial sealing.

A: EPDM generally has limited resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and hydrocarbons. For continuous exposure to these media, NBR or FKM may be more suitable. Material compatibility should be evaluated based on the specific operating conditions.

A: EPDM extrusion is produced as continuous profiles such as strips, tubes, channels, and sealing profiles, while EPDM sheet is a flat rubber material used for gaskets, insulation, lining, flooring, and waterproofing applications.

A: For technical evaluation and quotation, provide the 2D/3D drawing or physical sample, profile dimensions, hardness, material requirements, application environment, required quantity, secondary processing requirements, and target delivery schedule.
