RoHS EPDM O-RING
Product Overview
KAFLON® RoHS EPDM O-Rings are manufactured from high-quality EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) elastomer compounds that fully comply with the RoHS Directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances).
These O-rings are engineered for applications where environmental compliance, electrical safety, and water resistance are essential. EPDM offers excellent resistance to water, steam, ozone, UV exposure, weathering, and polar chemicals, making it an ideal sealing material for environmentally regulated industries.
Key Features & Benefits
