EPDM producten van EKI
Wat zijn de verschillende typen?
At EKI, we primarily work with four different types of EPDM. The first material in our range, and our most common one, is EPDM closed-cell foam. This material is relatively soft and thus easily compressible. After compression, the foam returns to its original shape due to its excellent mechanical properties. We offer EPDM closed-cell foam in various hardness levels and thicknesses, ranging from very soft to around 50 Shore A. Our very soft variants can be compressed completely, while the harder ones can be compressed up to about 25%.
The second type of EPDM material we provide is EPDM rubber. This rubber is firmer and therefore less compressible than the closed-cell foam variant. It has a long lifespan and is also highly resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and other weathering effects.
The third type of EPDM we offer is EPDM sponge rubber. Unlike the closed-cell foam, sponge rubber has a skin around the open cell structure, making it water- and air-tight. This skin also prevents moss formation on the material. While it shares many properties with the previous two variants, sponge rubber additionally functions to block steam and gases.
Lastly, we have EPDM film in our range, which is ideal for sealing or protecting elements from air and water. This material is very durable and has similar properties to the materials mentioned above, including good water and weather resistance.
