Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) gaskets are manufactured from a highly elastic synthetic rubber material and are a multi-purpose gasket suitable for a wide range of both indoor and outdoor applications.
With the ability to withstand both freezing and extremely high temperatures, these rubber gaskets are ideal for use in steam service duty, while their resistance to acids and alkaline makes them a good choice in a range of food processing plants. The synthetic material is also suitable for exterior applications including roofing, with its impermeable finish resistant to weather, ageing, abrasion, and water.
EPDM gaskets are categorised by grades including commercial-grade, WRAS approved, FDA approved, and flame and acid resistance. Our team have over 50 years of experience in gasket manufacture and are on hand to help you select the most effective materials for your application.

A popular choice for utility companies, these gaskets are manufactured to BS 6920-1:2000 and BS 6920-1:2014 requirements, making them suitable for a range of applications involving water for human consumption.
Meeting EC 1935/2004 and FDA 21 CFR177.2600 regulations, these gaskets are often fabricated from non-toxic white materials for use in the manufacture of food and beverages, including alcohol, meat, and dairy.
A cost-effective alternative to other fire-resistant materials, our flame retardant EPDM gaskets have excellent tensile strength and are highly resistant to weathering, tearing, and exposure to the elements.
Conforming to ICI M228 specifications, these high-grade EPDM gaskets are resistant to highly abrasive processes, such as those using acids, alkalines and other chemicals.
Suitable for low pressure pipe seals, gaskets, weatherstrip, etc. Excellent water, ozone & UV resistant properties, vegetable oils, acids, aqueous chemicals, steam. It also has good mechanical properties and abrasion resistance.
Provides a cost-effective gasket solution, particularly well-suited for applications with low-pressure requirements where the material is not subjected to significant stress. Despite its economical nature, this grade maintains a level of weathering and ozone resistance, ensuring a balance between affordability and functional durability.
Blending commendable physical attributes with exceptional resistance to both weathering and ozone degradation, this material also exhibits effective resistance against certain mineral oils. These features culminate in a versatile material suitable for application across a broad spectrum of environments and use cases.
