Applications of EPDM rubber gaskets

Commonly used where prolonged water contact or exterior exposure occurs, EPDM gaskets are often specified for shower fittings, hose connections, roofing seals and general mechanical goods such as housings, access covers and piping flanges. Their resistance to weathering, ozone and UV, combined with good elastic recovery and low-temperature flexibility, makes EPDM suitable for dynamic seals and flange connections; EPDM flange gaskets and related items are offered alongside other rubber-gaskets.

EPDM may be less suitable where contact with oils, fuels or aromatic solvents is expected or under continuous high-temperature hydrocarbon exposure, in which case alternative elastomers are typically considered. Chemical compatibility with aggressive solvents and specific service conditions can also limit its use.

EPDM rubber gaskets specifications

Hardness: 60–80 Shore A
Density: 1.10–1.30 g/cm³
Tensile Strength: 7–12 MPa
Elongation at Break: 250–400 %
Temperature Range: −40 °C to +120 °C
Resistance: water, UV, ozone, weathering

 

EPDM rubber has excellent resistance to water, UV radiation, ozone and weathering, but is not recommended for applications involving oil or fuel exposure.

Custom production

In addition to standard EPDM rubber gaskets, we can CNC cut custom shapes and dimensions to your drawing. Suitable for prototypes, small series and repeat production.

FAQ

What are EPDM rubber gaskets used for?

EPDM rubber gaskets are sealing components used where resistance to water and exterior exposure is required. Common applications include showers, hoses, roofing and general mechanical goods. EPDM flange gaskets are used to seal flange connections in systems exposed to the elements or moisture.

Are EPDM rubber gaskets suitable for outdoor and water contact applications?

Yes. EPDM rubber gaskets are commonly specified for outdoor use and for applications with regular water contact because the material resists weathering, ozone and prolonged moisture exposure. Selection should consider the full operating environment; contact the team for application-specific guidance.

Can EPDM rubber gaskets be used with oils and fuels?

EPDM rubber gaskets are generally not recommended for continuous exposure to petroleum-based oils, fuels or certain aggressive solvents. For systems that involve hydrocarbon fluids, other elastomer types are typically more suitable. Please consult the team for recommendations on compatible materials for specific fluids.

How should EPDM rubber gaskets be stored and maintained?

Store EPDM rubber gaskets in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, ozone sources and solvents. Avoid mechanical deformation during storage. For maintenance, keep sealing surfaces clean using mild soap and water, inspect gaskets periodically for hardening, cracking or distortion, and replace gaskets that show signs of deterioration.
