Is EPDM seal wear-resistant?

Epdm sealing ring has good wear resistance, the following is a detailed explanation of its wear resistance:

First, excellent wear resistance

EPDM sealing ring is made of EPDM rubber (EPDM) as raw material, which has the characteristics of oxidation resistance, ozone resistance and ultraviolet radiation resistance, so its wear resistance is more prominent. After experimental verification, the wear rate of EPDM sealing ring is lower than that of ordinary rubber sealing ring, and it can maintain a long service life under high-speed movement and frequent friction conditions.

Second, wear resistance comparison

Compared with other materials, such as thermoplastics, silicone rubber, nitrile rubber and polyurethane, EPDM sealing rings have superior wear resistance. Due to their brittleness, thermoplastics and other materials are easy to wear and break under heavy load, and their durability is poor. Silicone rubber and nitrile rubber have good wear resistance in a short period of time, but with the passage of time, the wear rate will gradually increase, and it is easy to lose the sealing performance; Although polyurethane has excellent wear resistance, its application range is narrow and it is not suitable for use in high or low temperature environments.

Third, a wide range of applications

Epdm sealing ring has excellent wear resistance, so it is widely used in automobile manufacturing, building sealing, home appliances, industrial pipes and other fields. In these fields, the sealing ring needs to withstand a variety of friction and impact forces, and the EPDM sealing ring can maintain stable sealing performance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

In summary, EPDM sealing ring has good wear resistance and can maintain a long service life under various harsh conditions. Therefore, when choosing sealing ring materials, EPDM rubber is a choice worth considering.
