EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Rubber)
Overview
EPDM Seals & O-Rings are particularly useful when sealing against phosphate-ester hydraulic fluids and for glycol based fluids.
EPDM is Ethylene Propylene Rubber with the addition of a Diene Monomer.
Competitive lead times & pricing from Lanson Polymers allied with our vast experience in the design & supply of critical seals & components into a variety of markets will allow you to specify the optimum solution for your application.
A wide variety of seals and components can be manufactured using EPDM Materials:
