8316 - FDA Compliant EPDM Rubber Gasketing

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber

Premium grade EPDM rubber sheet with excellent weather and UV resistance.  Also good for many alkaline chemical services.

FDA approved, this gasket is recommended for service in aqueous food applications.

FEATURES and BENEFITS

  • Composition: Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)
  • Hardness: 55-65 durometer Shore A
  • Color: Off-White
  • FDA-approved ingredients per 21CFR177.2600
  • Non-oil-resistant elastomer.
  • Recommended for service against aqueous (water-based) foods, but not for fatty-type foods or milk
