EPDM O-Rings

Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) is a Copolymer of ethylene and propylene. Furthermore, EPDM is a terpolymer of ethylene and propylene with a small amount of a third monomer (usually a diene) to permit vulcanization with sulfur. EPDM o-rings are useful for a number of industries from automobile assembly to water purification systems.

Generally, EPDM o-rings are known to possess excellent resistance to ozone, sunlight, and weathering, and has very good flexibility at low temperature, good chemical resistance (many dilute acids and alkalis as well as polar solvents), and good electrical insulation property. EPDM o-rings may also come in a metal detectable variation while retaining the same qualities as the general EPDM o-ring compound. EPDM o-rings are typically black in color, with a long-lasting shelf life.
