EPDM Rubber Parts: Gaskets, Grommets, and More

EPDM rubber is a high-density synthetic rubber used for outdoor applications and other spaces in need of tough, versatile parts. With more than half a decade of experience in providing custom rubber solutions for businesses, Timco Rubber can work with you to provide the right EPDM parts for your applications.

What is EPDM: A Versatile, Cost-Effective Rubber Part Solution

When you need a rubber material that offers excellent resistances to weather, heat, and other factors without breaking the bank, EPDM grommets, gaskets, tubing, and other parts may be the answer you need.

EPDM – also known as ethylene propylene diene monomer – is an extremely versatile material used in a variety of applications, from automotive products to HVAC parts. This type of rubber also acts as a less expensive alternative to silicone, as it can endure weather conditions, abrasion, and other challenges for long periods of time with proper use. As such, EPDM can save you time and money on a wide range of applications.
