Why EPDM seals are the essential sealing solution for your products

The automotive industry utilises EPDM seals in a range of applications, such as:

• Door and window seals.
• Gaskets.
• Washers.
• Belts.
• O-rings.
• Hoses.

Due to high temperature, moisture and petrochemical resistance, EPDM is an ideal sealant material for the automotive industry. From under-the-hood engine components to window and door seals, the automotive industry utilises EPDM seals across an application array thanks to its properties’ flexibility, resiliency and weathering ability.

By providing an excellent sealing solution in diverse environments, EPDM seals are prevalent in the construction industry. Some of these EPDM seal applications include:

• Window and door seals.
• Roofing membranes.
• Expansion joints.
• HVAC Systems.
• Façade and curtain wall seals.
• General waterproofing.

Reliability, durability, and versatility make EPDM seals an indispensable solution for various construction applications where high-performance sealing can prove an essential requirement across structural integrity, energy efficiency and comfort.

Water, chemical and temperature resistance makes EPDM seals an ideal, watertight solution prevalent in the plumbing industry. Here are a few application examples of EPDM seals used in plumbing:

• Pipe seals and gaskets.
• Faucet and shower seals.
• Rubber washers.
• Expansion joints.
• Waterproofing membranes.

Reliable sealing is essential for this industry to maintain the integral functionality of its plumbing systems. Thanks to its prevailing properties, EPDM fits the bill in more ways than one.

We use EPDM seals in various electrical devices to seal enclosures, connectors and cable glands. This protection ensures your electrical applications resist dust, moisture and other environmental contaminants.  

EPDM electronic seal applications include:
