We offer three different grades of closed-cell EPDM cellular rubber, which are ideal for sealing against water and air, as well as three NITTO EPDM options with semi-closed cells and good sound insulation properties. A closed-cell structure also makes it resistant to moisture and water. Closed-cell EPDM cellular rubber is a high-quality solution that can be used, for example, for sealing windows, doors, roofs and pipes.
EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer and is a type of synthetic rubber with excellent insulating properties. EPDM rubber is available in various forms, including EPDM rubber sheeting and EPDM sealing strips, which are used in the construction industry to seal roofs, windows and doors. EPDM sheeting is also used to protect surfaces from the elements, such as for roof and façade protection.
EPDM rubber has many advantages and properties that make it a popular choice for various applications. These include high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance, good UV resistance, low permeability and high wear resistance. EPDM rubber also has good elasticity, which means it can be stretched without cracking.
Wide use of EPDM rubber
EPDM rubber has a wide range of applications across many different industries. It is used, for example, in the automotive industry for sealing doors, windows and windscreen wipers. In the construction industry, EPDM rubber is used for roofing, windows and door seals. It is also used as a safety barrier in the food and pharmaceutical industries. EPDM rubber is also commonly used in the water treatment industry to protect equipment from corrosion.
NITTO EPDM
NITTO EPDM cellular rubber with semi-closed cells is a very soft and pliable sealing material in which the cells are partially interconnected. NITTO EPDM can be compressed significantly and fill uneven gaps with minimal resistance. Thanks to its EPDM base, it offers good resistance to weather, ozone, UV and temperature fluctuations, but it is not suitable for contact with oils and fuels. It is therefore primarily used as a seal against water, air and dust in, for example, enclosures, doors, hatches and vehicle components.
In summary, EPDM rubber is a synthetic rubber with excellent properties and a wide range of applications. It is a versatile solution that can be used for sealing, insulating and protecting surfaces and equipment.
