EPDM White FDA

Food contact compliant
Excellent chemical resistance
Non-marking
Good temperature resistance
Moderate weathering properties
High tensile strength

There are two basic types of EP rubber available in today’s market—EP and EPDM. EP is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene, while EPDM is a terpolymer combining ethylene, propylene and a diene monomer. EP uses a peroxide cure system. EPDM uses a sulphur cure system.

Filcoflex B.V.’s EPDM is an EPDM white FDA 60° Shore A is a rubber material sheet from rolls. EPDM is used for a number of purposes, to cut custom gaskets and to make flexible sleeves among other things.

The sheet is a roll material, the roll are 1200mm wide and have 10 meter length.

EPDM has a good solvent, acid and alkali resistance, and a good general chemical resistance. EPDM has a higher temperature resistance than most plastics (e.g. Poly Urethane) or natural rubbers.

Pressure Resistance for Flexible Connectors

0,34 Bar / 5.0 PSI For temperatures up to 90 °C / 195°F. Please see “Operating Pressure Guide” for further information. We recommend using the shortest possible connector for applications where increased pressure and/or high temperature is expected. Please contact us for more information.

Weighing Applications

High volume weight and capacity weighing and dosing applications please see “weighing and dosing guide” for further information.

Chemical Resistance

Good temperature resistance
Good ozone resistance
Very good acid resistance
Very good alkali resistance
Good CIP resistance
Good weather resistance
Poor oil resistance
Poor petrol resistance
