What are EPDM Extrusions?
EPDM is a synthetic rubber, an abbreviation of ethylene, propylene, diene and monomer, a durable rubber popular for use in a range of applications, available of grades and hardnesses from 55°- 85° shore (the shore hardness is measured using a shore durometer which indicates the level of resistance to indentation, the higher number on the scale indicate a greater resistance – harder the material/lower number indicate less resistance- softer the material.)
‘Extrusion’ is the process of turning raw material in this case EPDM rubber compound into a specific shape using an extruder machine which works using high pressure and a die (a shaped tool). This machine pushes raw material through the die creating the finished extruded rubber profile, in continuous lengths, with a consistent cross-sectional shape as per the customer’s design running throughout.
Extrusions can be made as a ‘solid’ shape such as cord, or ‘hollow’ where a hole, usually in the centre runs through the entire length of the extrusion just leaving the outer wall. Some of the most commonly used extrusions are D-sections, P-sections, door seals, window seals, U-channels and cords, many of which can be supplied with a self-adhesive finish.
Hebei Shida Seal Group is an industry leading manufacturer of EPDM rubber extrusions and gaskets for sealing and glazing industrial applications.
