EPDM rubber strip with insert 5 mm x 30 mm

The strip is made of compact rubber on a base of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) with inorganic and organic additives and with a reinforcing textile insert. The material does not let air through and has practically zero water absorption, thanks to which it ensures tight and durable joints.

The surface of the profile is smooth, the standard colour is black and the standard hardness 70 °ShA. EPDM excellently resists weather influences in the temperature range -40 to +100 °C without a change of its physical, mechanical and chemical properties. In the short term it withstands temperatures up to +130 °C, but premature ageing must be expected.

The maximum length of one strip is 10 m. EPDM sealing profiles are also available to order in further shapes and sizes according to the relevant catalogue and upon agreement production of a shape according to the customer's specific needs is possible.

Main advantages

• Resistance to weather – EPDM withstands UV radiation, ozone and the outdoor environment long-term without loss of properties.

• Wide temperature range – reliably seals from -40 up to +100 °C, in the short term up to +130 °C.

• Air impermeability – the profile does not let air through and has practically zero water absorption, so it holds a tight joint.

• Reinforcement with textile insert – the insert increases the dimensional stability and resistance of the strip during installation.

• Sold by the metre – you buy exactly as much as you need, from just 1 metre.

• Universal deployment – suitable for construction, engineering, the food industry and the automotive industry.

Use

• Sealing into light fittings

• Sealing expansion joints

• Sealing when covering with polycarbonate

• Sealing in air handling

• Sealing structural and building parts in industry

• Use in the construction, engineering, food and automotive sector

Frequently asked questions

In what way is the strip sold?

We supply the strip as a cut length, i.e. by the metre. The minimum order is 1 metre and the maximum length of one continuous strip is 10 m.

What temperature does the strip withstand?

EPDM resists temperatures in the range -40 to +100 °C without a change of properties. In the short term it withstands temperatures up to +130 °C, but premature ageing of the material must be expected.

Can another size or shape be ordered?

Yes. EPDM sealing profiles are also available to order in further shapes and sizes according to the catalogue and upon agreement we can make a shape according to the customer's specific needs.
