EPDM O-Rings
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) O-rings are known for their excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, and water-based chemicals. These O-rings are ideal for outdoor applications, automotive brake systems, and any environment where resistance to steam, water, and weathering is critical. EPDM O-rings are available in various sizes and profiles, including custom shapes like square sections and chamfered edges.
Available Variations:
Standard O-Rings: Suitable for general sealing applications, especially in outdoor environments.
Square Section O-Rings: Provides a better seal in specific conditions.
Custom Profiles: Chamfered, beveled, or other custom profiles available upon request.
