Let’s explore how to use EPDM O-rings effectively across industries.

What are EPDM O-rings used for?

EPDM O-rings are made from ethylene propylene diene monomer, which gives them their robust weather and chemical resistance.

일반적으로 다음에서 사용됩니다.

  • Steam and hot water systems
  • Automotive braking and cooling systems
  • Outdoor sealing (HVAC, solar panels)

Are EPDM O-rings chemically resistant?

Yes, EPDM’s saturated polymer structure resists oxidation and UV. It's ideal for polar solvents, steam, and weathering.

Can EPDM O-rings be used outdoors?

Absolutely. EPDM performs extremely well outdoors:

  • Resistant to UV and ozone
  • Doesn’t crack in sunlight
  • Handles temperature swings (-50°C to 150°C)

That’s why they’re often used in rooftop solar panels and HVAC systems.

When should you avoid EPDM O-rings?

Do not use EPDM where oils, fuels, or hydrocarbons are present.

메디아 Use EPDM? Better Alternative
증기 ✅ 네
UV/Weather ✅ 네
Mineral Oils ❌ 아니요 NBR 오링
Fuels ❌ 아니요 FKM O-링

How to choose the right EPDM O-ring?

Use this 3-step checklist:

  1. 온도 범위: EPDM works between -50°C and 150°C
  2. 화학 물질 노출: Avoid oils, use in polar solvents, water
  3. Sizing: Measure ID, OD, and CS; verify Shore A hardness
