General Information
EPDM rubber is extremely resistant to heat, water, steam, ozone and UV rays (colour stability), as well as having very good properties of flexibility at low temperatures. Its unsurpassable behaviour against ageing and weathering agents makes it suitable for long-term use outdoors. EPDM is likewise extremely suitable for use with hot water and steam. It is particularly suited for working with brake fluids at high temperatures. It has excellent electrical properties and stability in radiation. It is resistant to mineral acids, alcohol, detergents and other chemical agents, even at high temperatures. It shows reasonable resistance to fireproof hydraulic fluids, ketones and alkalis. It exhibits unsatisfactory compatibility with most oils, gasoline, kerosene, aromatic hydrocarbons and concentrated acids.

Sleeves
We manufacture vulcanised sleeves in any type of rubber (SBR, NBR, EPDM, silicon, Viton, brown natural rubber, etc.) using a hot-vulcanising technique to form a bevel joint, which is more flexible, long-lasting and smoother than other joints.
