Choosing the right rubber hose material directly determines service life, safety and cost efficiency. For global industrial buyers, selecting EPDM, NBR, Silicone (VMQ) or FKM (Fluoroelastomer) based on real working conditions is the core of reliable piping solutions. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) EPDM is the top choice for water, steam, cooling systems and outdoor use. It excels in weath...
Core Advantages of EPDM - EPDM features excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, high and low temperature resistance, water resistance, steam resistance and superior electrical insulation. Its main drawback is poor resistance to oil and fuel. It is the preferred sheath material for outdoor, high-voltage and long-term anti-aging scenarios in new energy and power industries. I. Typical Applic...
Dimensional inconsistency remains the top headache for rubber hose applications in automotive, industrial and HVAC systems. Minor deviations in inner diameter, outer diameter or wall thickness will directly cause assembly failure, sealing leakage, pressure resistance reduction and premature equipment failure. End-to-end standardized production covering rubber mixing, extrusion, vulcanization and c...
Primary vulcanization can basically shape rubber products, but it cannot fully remove residual vulcanizing agents, volatile impurities and internal molecular stress. For high-performance special rubber including silicone rubber, FKM fluoroelastomer and HNBR, secondary vulcanization (post-curing) is an indispensable finishing process. It greatly optimizes molecular crosslinking structure, and signi...
