EPDM O-Ring Seal

Temperature range, chemical and fluid compatibility, hardness and the full dimensional range for this compound.

EPDM O-Ring Seal are supplied to ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, typically 70 Shore A. Corrosion behaviour is excellent in water, steam, brake fluid and weathering; unsuitable for mineral oil, the material is non-magnetic, and the usable service range is approx. -45 °C to +150 °C. In practice this grade is the water, steam and outdoor-weathering elastomer.

Why Choose EPDM for O-Ring Seal — ISO / DIN (Series 160)

The water, steam and outdoor-weathering elastomer. For o-ring seal — iso / din (series 160), this matters when excellent in water, steam, brake fluid and weathering; unsuitable for mineral oil is the primary requirement.

Corrosion Behavior in Service

Carbon and alloy steel o-ring seal — iso / din (series 160) require a coating for corrosion protection. Zinc plating (with or without passivation) is the most common; hot-dip galvanizing is used for outdoor structural service; black-oxide is mainly a tarnish-prevention finish for tool-room use.

Comparable Grades

For o-ring seal — iso / din (series 160), consider NBR for mineral oil and hydraulic service, which EPDM does not tolerate, or silicone for a wider temperature range in static duty. Elastomer selection is decided by the medium, the temperature range and whether the seal is static or dynamic — not by strength.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

  1. Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine
    01

    Cold heading

    Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

    Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.

  2. Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads
    02

    Thread rolling

    Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

    Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.

  3. Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment
    03

    Heat treatment

    Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

    Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.

  4. Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket
    04

    Surface treatment

    Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

    Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EPDM prone to hydrogen embrittlement?

Class 10.9 and above can be susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement when electroplated. Specify post-plating baking, or use mechanical-zinc / zinc-flake finishes which avoid the cathodic plating step.

Which finish is best for outdoor O-Ring Seal — ISO / DIN (Series 160)?

For outdoor service in steel, hot-dip galvanizing gives the longest life; zinc-flake (Geomet/Delta-Tone family) gives a thinner film with excellent salt-spray performance; standard zinc plating is the lowest-cost option for general indoor / shielded outdoor use.

What's the service temperature limit for EPDM?

The practical service range is approx. -45 °C to +150 °C.

Can EPDM replace stainless steel structurally?

No — stainless A2/A4 cannot match class 10.9 / 12.9 strength. Stainless is selected for corrosion, not raw strength.
