Description
EPDM Tri-Clamp Gaskets
EPDM Tri-Clamp gaskets are the preferred choice of material for brewing and similar alcohol based applications.
EPDM Gaskets offer a low temperature rating and have better physical properties than Viton gaskets; the best part is that they cost less than Viton and provide the same chemical resistance to many alcohols
Note: EPDM is not recommended for use with hydrocarbons
Key Features:
- Low temperature range
- Low costs
- Better compressibility and springiness
- Excellent resistance to alcohols
- Good tear resistance
- Good abrasion resistance
- FDA CFR 177.2600 – Rubber and Rubber-Like Material for Repeated Use/Contact with Food.
- FDA CFR 177.1550 – Fluorocarbon Resins for Repeated Use/Contact With Food, Dairy & Pharmaceutical Products.
