EPDM rubber is an extremely versatile material that can be used in a variety of applications, from automotive products to HVAC parts. It also acts as a less expensive alternative to silicone and can last for long periods of time with proper use, saving you time and money.
Caution:
Do not use EPDM rubber if continual contact with petroleum-based products is required.
EPDM rubber is not recommended for usage in food applications or those that are exposed to aromatic hydrocarbons.
