Rubber gaskets play a role in applications spanning a variety of industries. While most rubber gaskets are similar in function, they are not universal. The specific rubber material and gasket style may vary widely depending on the application.

Rubber gaskets present advantages in numerous applications. They help prevent leaks and loss of pressure in countless forms of process equipment, piping systems, machinery, and more..

Products Materials

EPDM:Ethylene-Propylene / EPDM O-Rings: Ethylene propylene rubber is an elastomer prepared from ethylene and propylene monomers (ethylene propylene copolymer). Our stock O-Ring compoundare made with an amount of a third (diene) monomer (ethylene propylene diene terpolymers). Ethylenepropylene-diene rubber (EPDM) produced using a third monomer and is particularly useful when sealing phosphate-ester hydraulic fluids and in brake systems that use fluids having a glycol base. EPDM has outstanding resistance to heat, water and steam, alkali, mild acidic and oxygenated solvents, ozone, and sunlight; but it is not recommended for gasoline, petroleum oil and grease, and hydrocarbon environments. This popular rubber compound is usually the first choice for low torque drive belt applications.

Applications: Cold and Hot Water, Steam up to 300°F (149°C), Various Water / Municipalities Applications, Household Appliances, Glycol based brake fluids up to 300°F (149°C), Many organic and inorganic acid, Cleaning agents, soda alkali, potassium alkali, Phosphate-ester based hydraulic fluids (HFD-R), Silicone Oil, Silicone Grease, Many polar solvents (alcohols, ketones, esters), Ozone resistant, aging resistant, weather resistant, Outdoor Applications and Electrical Insulators..

Avoid: Mineral oil products (oils, greases and fuels), Solvents, Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Lubricating Oils, Petroleum Base Gasoline
