Description
These DIN 11851 gaskets (sealing rings) are made from high-quality EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber.
EPDM is well-suited for use in a broad temperature range, typically from -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to 248°F), making it suitable for both low and high-temperature applications.
EPDM is known for its excellent resistance to water, steam, and a wide variety of chemicals, including alkalis, acids, and certain solvents. It also offers good resistance to ozone, UV radiation, and aging, which makes it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.
EPDM is often used in food-grade applications because it is non-toxic and does not release harmful substances into food or beverages. It complies with safety standards for food contact, ensuring that it meets the necessary regulatory requirements for the food industry.
The material has excellent resistance to mechanical wear and tear, making it ideal for sealing applications in food processing machinery, pumps, filling lines, and dairy production equipment.
EPDM is commonly used in food-grade hoses and conveyor belts, especially when dealing with water-based or aqueous food products. Its durability, flexibility, and ability to maintain a reliable seal make it suitable for environments where the material may be subjected to mechanical stress or prolonged exposure to steam or water.
In addition to food processing, EPDM is frequently used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, providing a versatile and safe sealing solution in environments where hygiene and durability are paramount
