High-Quality EPDM Material
The Rubber Tadpole Seal is manufactured from premium EPDM rubber, a material renowned for its durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
Chemical Resistance: Withstands most chemicals, UV radiation, air, and ozone exposure.
Temperature Range: Operates effectively between -40°C to +120°C, making it suitable for both extreme cold and high-heat applications.
Hardness: EPDM features a Shore A hardness of 70°, similar to a car tire, providing a balance between flexibility and robustness.
It is worth noting that while EPDM offers excellent modular resistance to many substances, it is not recommended for environments exposed to oil or fuel, as these substances can degrade the material over time.
