Welcome to our EPDM Specifications Section
Here you will find our Ethylene Propylene rubber (EPDM) specifications chart which can also be downloaded in PDF. The EPDM properties that are listed below are for our most popular EPDM 70 durometer (70A) rubber material. If you need EPDM properties that are different than the ones shown in the chart below, we can reformulate the compound of the EPDM material so that the EPDM rubber specifications suit your needs. Finding the correct material especially if you are using it for an O-ring seal is important as the rubber can degrade quickly if the material is not compatible with your environment.
Mykin Inc’s sulfur-cured RE00170 EPDM compound has a temperature use range of -65°F to +300°F. Sulfur-cured EPDM is the least costly and provides better tear and abrasion resistance compared to peroxide-cured compounds. EPDM compounds are frequently used with foods, water, steam and phosphate ester fluids (Skydrol) applications and offer the excellent resistance to brake fluids (glycol base), weather, and ozone. EPDM’s are not used with petroleum oils or fuels because significant swelling would result.
