Product Overview
Description:
This gasket material is comprised of EPDM, ethylene propylene diene monomer, rubber, which features excellent resistances to heat, weather, ozone, oxygen acids and aging. It is an odor-free, dielectric material that can withstand temperatures both hot and cold, conform easily to uneven flange surfaces and has great electrical insulating properties.
When it comes to sealing flanges, whether raised or flat face flanges, there are two type of gasket shapes - ring gaskets and full face gaskets. Ring Gaskets are positioned inside of the flange holts and around the pipe bore. They can also be used within a raised face design, where it sits on the raised surface. Ring Gaskets reuqire less material and less cutting and can be installed without completely dissembling the joint. The disadvantage is the gasket can be harder to align and clamp.
Applications:
With its outstanding resistances and properties makes EPDM rubber gasketing perfect for outdoor applications. They are popular within the appliance industry, for low-pressure boiler gaskets, and general purpose gasket for air, hot and cold water and saturated steam.
1. Applications exposed to Ozone, UV light, weather or saltwater
2. Steam, Oxidation, water (cold or hot) and salt water
3. Hydraulic Silicates and phosphates, Ketones (MEK)
4. Chlorine, Acids and Alkalis
Do Not Use Within:
Neoprene gasket material is not compatible with any acetones, aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as benzene.
