E.P.D.M.

(Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Resistant to most water based chemicals, very inert structure, remains stable over long periods of time, can withstand temperatures of up to 130°C for extended periods of time (months), very good weathering resistance, easily compounded and processed, outstanding resistance to phosphate ester type hydraulic fluids.

Performs well in Alcohols, Automotive brake fluids, Dilute acids and dilute alkalies, Ketones (MEK, acetone), Silicone oils and greases, Steam (up to 400° F, 204° C), Water

Will not resist oil or oil based products, Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, Di-ester based lubricants, Halogenated solvents. Compression Set not as good as some other rubbers, but can be improved by compounding.

Altec have over 30 years experience in manufacturing Plastic & Rubber Extrusions, Extruded Profiles and Tubing. We're quite rightfully proud of our reputation for consistently meeting the needs of customers over that time. Because we've remained small and focussed we've also remained more attentitive, more cost effective and more responsive than larger manufacturers.
