WRAS EPDM Rubber Sheet
WRAS EPDM Rubber Sheet
ASG stocks and supplies a whole host of non-metallic materials in sheet form, some of which are formulated for use within unique industries and applications, one such material is EPDM rubber, used to manufacture EPDM rubber sheets.
EPDM rubber is available in a range of grades and hardnesses, one of which includes WRAS approved EPDM (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) which is suitable for contact with wholesome water and is commonly used in applications involving water for human consumption.
This material is manufactured in roll form at 1.6 meters wide, in thicknesses starting at 1mm in lengths of 10 meters long for material up to 8mm thick, and 5 meters long for thickness above 8mm, however as we carry out all our own conversion in-house, we can supply these rolls cut down into small EPDM rubber sheets at 1 meter or 2-meter lengths, or even bespoke sized EPDM rubber sheets and large pads, whilst our on-site laminating service allows us to laminate solid rubber with a choice of adhesives, foils or with layers of other material types.
What are WRAS Solid EPDM Rubber Sheets?
WRAS approved EPDM rubber sheets has been specially formulated and manufactured as a safe material for use within potable water applications for human consumption, adhering to BS6920-1:2000 and BS 6920-1:2014 'Suitability of non-metallic materials and products for use in contact and with water intended for human consumption with regard to their effect on the quality of the water'.
WRAS approved EPDM rubber sheets is manufactured in roll form with a cloth impression on both faces and offers an impervious surface ensuring water remains contained. Rolls are produced at 1.6 meters wide, in thicknesses starting at 1mm in lengths of 10 meters long for material up to 8mm thick, and 5 meters long for thickness above 8mm, however, these can also be cut down and supplied as EPDM rubber sheets which are sometimes preferred by customers as they have the freedom to cut their own sheets in various sizes as and when they are required.
WRAS EPDM rubber sheets can be supplied with a choice of finishes including foils, self-adhesives or laminated with other materials.

Different Grades Available
Advanced Seals & Gaskets work with many material manufacturers and suppliers, giving our customers more choice when looking for specialist EPDM materials, other specialist grades of solid EPDM include:
FDA grades - Food quality EPDM is available in blue and white options. This synthetic material is suitable for use in food and pharmaceutical processing applications. Food quality EPDM offers good resistance to animal and vegetable oils, iis non-toxic and has a working temperature of -25°C up to +140°C.
Peroxide Cured - Vulcanising or curing EPDM using peroxide (as opposed to Sulphur) produces a more superior material with higher temperature resistance, heat resistance and improved oil and chemical resistance, this material is suitable for demanding applications such as nuclear facilities.
