Very good chemical resistance and resistance to ozone and weather conditions.
Vulcanized EPDM rubber sheets are made of rubber compounds. They can be produced without fabric spacers and with 1 or 2 spacers, which strengthen the mechanical resistance of the rubber plates.
The color of the sheets is black. The surfaces of the boards can be smooth or with a fabric impression. The sheet with a smooth surface are covered with a thin layer of talcum powder to prevent the sheets from sticking together.
For quantities of more than 24 rolls, we recommend rubber sheets with a paper divider, without talcum powder.
Properties
EPDM rubber is a high-quality rubber sheet. It is a heat-resistant and acid-resistant rubber, made on the basis of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber. This type of rubber gives the board the following properties:
-
temperature resistance in the range of -40°C to 120°C - this means that EPDM rubber undergoes reversible deformation in this range, arising under the influence of mechanical forces, without losing the continuity of the material structure
-
water vapor resistance up to 150°C
-
good chemical resistance to diluted organic and inorganic acids and alkalis (potassium and sodium and cleaning agents), oxygen and ozone
-
good resistance to weather conditions, heat aging and UV radiation
-
resistance to silicone-based oils and greases
-
resistance to brake oils containing glycol
-
good abrasion resistance compared to other rubbers
-
EPDM rubber should not be used with mineral oils and hydrocarbons (aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated)
Application
EPDM acid-resistant rubber is used in many different industries. It is very popular in the automotive industry, where it is made of such elements as:
-
tires and inner tubes
-
elements for absorbing and damping vibrations
-
sealing for windows and doors
In addition, it is used in the production of window seals, transmission belts, seals in water systems, hydraulic hoses, cable covers, roofing, etc.
Due to its good resistance to weather conditions, EPDM rubber is used as an outdoor rubber lining. It is perfect for playgrounds and sports facilities, where it provides safety for users by shock absorption and protection against slipping. In addition, it is used on stairs, as rubber for road machines and cranes, for terraces, etc.
