Application
EPDM can be used for production of U-shaped seals, lip and chevron seals. EPDM is mainly used in cleaning equipment (washing powder, sodium alkali). Moreover, EPDM is the most applicable material for usage in hot water or hot steam (silicone grease lubrication).
Mainly used
- Special parts for cleaning equipment
- Piston and rod seals
- O-rings
- Seals for vehicle break system
