EPDM rubber
What is EPDM?
EPDM is a high-density synthetic rubber used in outdoor applications and other spaces that require tough, versatile parts. A versatile, cost-effective solution for rubber parts.
When you need a rubber material that can provide excellent weather resistance, heat resistance and other factors without breaking the embankment, EPDM grommets, washers, ferrules and other parts may be the answer you need.
EPDM (also known as ethylene-propylene-diene monomer) is an extremely versatile material used in applications ranging from automotive products to HVAC parts. This type of rubber is also a lower-priced alternative to silicone, because if used properly, it can withstand weather conditions, wear and other challenges for a long time. Therefore, EPDM can save you time and money in a wide range of applications.
Bandung Rubber provides a wide range of standard and customized rubber solutions, using EPDM rubber materials. We develop rubber sheets, molded parts, rubber extrusions, preforms and gaskets according to your specifications. We use a variety of manufacturing processes, including molding, extrusion, cutting, slitting, splicing and pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) applications.

Benefits and advantages of EPDM
Resistant to UV, ozone, aging, weathering and many chemicals-ideal for outdoor applications
Stability at high and low temperatures-universal EPDM rubber materials can be used in environments with a temperature range of -20 ⁰F to 350 ⁰F(-29 ⁰C to 177 C).
Low conductivity
Steam resistant and waterproof
It can be manufactured in a variety of ways, including custom molded and extruded parts.
Long life of parts and few replacement parts can save money in the long run.
