EPDM Rubber Sheet
EPDM rubber sheet is a durable synthetic rubber material known for its excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, ultraviolet exposure, water and temperature changes. It is widely used for sealing, insulation, lining and general protection in marine, offshore, industrial and construction applications.
EPDM is particularly suitable for outdoor and freshwater applications. It is generally not recommended for continuous contact with petroleum oils, diesel fuel or hydrocarbon solvents.
