Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) |
75 |
Excellent heat, ozone and sunlight resistance. Very good low-temperature flexibility, good resistance to alkalis, acids (such as acetic) and oxygenated solvents (such as MEK). Provides improved resistance to water and steam in applications where NBR and FKM exhibit poor service life. Good replacement for FKM where solvents are a problem. Not recommended for petroleum oil. |
