EPDM Rubber Pads – Durable and Versatile Solutions
EPDM Rubber Pads are a high-quality, versatile solution for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured by Advanced Seals & Gaskets (ASG), these pads are available in multiple grades and sizes, making them ideal for anti-vibration pads, rubber feet, surface protection, and cushioning applications.
With bespoke manufacturing capabilities, ASG can produce EPDM rubber pads from single prototypes to large-scale production runs, ensuring precise dimensions, consistent quality, and tailored solutions for every application.
What is EPDM?
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber renowned for its durability, weather resistance, and versatility. EPDM rubber pads are ideal for:
- External sealing applications against air and water.
- Sound insulation in household appliances, machinery, and equipment.
- Vibration and shock absorption, protecting surfaces and components.
EPDM pads withstand temperatures ranging from -35°C to +120°C, and are resistant to vegetable oils, animal fats, oxygenated solvents, and inorganic salts. However, they should not be used with aromatic hydrocarbons, lubricating oils, or petrol.
