EPDM  Rubber 

RH Nuttall Limited produce EPDM washers, EPDM gaskets, EPDM seals, EPDM strips and EPDM sheet for a variety of different industrial sectors. EPDM rubber is generally used for water resistance purposes in components such as garden and hose appliances, roofing applications, mechanical goods and electrical cable jointing. Our range of EPDM products can be supplied in WRC (Water Research Council Approved), WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme Approved), or as standard EPDM. From simple EPDM sheet and EPDM washers to more complex and bespoke EPDM strip and EPDM gaskets, RH Nuttall Limited has the answer. All sizes and shapes can be manufactured to suit customer requirements, from routine round or square designs to tailored shapes and sizes. Thicknesses range from 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 10mm to 12mm.

  • Excellent resistance to fresh and sea water, oxidation, ultra violet, ozone, aging and weathering.
  • Good temperature resistance, abrasion resistance and resistance to animal and vegetable oils.
  • Good resistance to acids, water based chemicals, and steam.
  • Can be supplied fully to the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS). The WRAS material we supply our parts from can cover both hot and cold water applications depending on the function.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring resistance to aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, lubricating oils and petrol.
