Common Names:
Ethylene-Propylene (EP, EPDM)
General Description:
EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) is an elastomer which is characterized by wide range of
applications and good chemical resistance. Our E1121 high durometer EPDM compound has been formulated to
have excellent resistance to steam and explosive decompression for use in the Geothermal industry. This material
can withstand use in steam up to 550°F (288°C) with excursions up to 600°F (315°C).
Features:
Excellent resistance to steam and hot water
Excellent explosive decompression resistance
Tested to NACE TM0297-97 ED Standard
Good chemical resistance.
Resistant to ketones, alkalis, polar solvents, ozone, sunlight, alcohols, glycol engine coolant and Skydrol
(phosphate ester hydraulic fluid).
Limitations:
Not recommended for oils, gasoline, kerosene, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbon, halogenated solvents,
concentrated acids, non-polar solvents, petroleum oils and aromatic fuels.
Service Temperature:
-58 to 600o F (-50 to 288o C)
