WRAS EPDM Rubber Rolls
ASG stocks and supplies a whole host of non-metallic materials in roll form, some of which are formulated for use within unique industries and applications, one such material is EPDM rubber, used to manufacture EPDM rubber rolls.
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. Are held in stock in a range of thicknesses, ready to be supplied or converted into a number of finished products including sheets, pads, washers, strips and gaskets.
As we carry out all our own conversion in-house, we can supply these rolls slit down into smaller widths and shorter lengths, 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.

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.
