D-shaped foam EPDM gasket 12x12x3

The D-shaped EPDM foam rubber gasket, measuring 12x12x3  is a premium-grade gasket designed from EPDM foam material. Known for its high durability, excellent weather resistance, and tolerance to external environmental factors like temperature, UV exposure, and mild chemicals, this gasket’s D-shape and foam properties make it highly adaptable to irregular gaps, enhancing sealing capabilities and providing effective noise reduction.

Detailed Product Specifications:

• Material: EPDM foam rubber, a high-quality synthetic rubber with strong durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
• Dimensions: 12 mm in width, 12 mm in height, and a 3 mm wall thickness. These dimensions ensure the product fits various gap types and narrow spaces, enhancing seal integrity upon installation.
• Shape: D-shape – this design allows the gasket to fit tightly against sealing surfaces, creating strong compression to prevent water, dust, or air infiltration.
• Color: Black, typical of EPDM rubber, giving it an elegant appearance suitable for aesthetic-sensitive applications.

Key Characteristics and Benefits:

1. Resistant to Harsh Weather Conditions: EPDM rubber boasts high durability and withstands environmental conditions such as rain, sun, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Its UV resistance prevents brittleness or cracking during long-term outdoor use, maintaining its durability and lifespan.
2. High Elasticity and Vibration Dampening: The foam structure of EPDM enhances its elasticity, allowing the gasket to bend to fit various gap shapes without deformation. This feature also helps reduce vibration and noise, making it suitable for applications requiring noise reduction, such as in the automotive industry.
3. Mild Chemical Resistance and High-Temperature Tolerance: EPDM resists certain chemicals and mild acids, avoiding corrosion or degradation upon exposure to light chemical agents. With an operational temperature range from -40°C to 120°C, EPDM gaskets maintain elasticity and integrity in extreme temperature environments.
4. Easy Installation and Compatibility with Various Surfaces: The D-shaped design allows easy installation across a variety of gaps and effective sealing without extensive machining. This gasket bonds well with surfaces like metal, wood, or plastic.

Common Applications:

• Automotive Industry: D-shaped EPDM foam rubber gaskets are commonly used for door seals, window seals, and other components exposed to vibration. They help reduce noise and prevent water and dust ingress into vehicles.
• Doors and Windows: This gasket can be used in door and window installations to block wind, dust, and moisture from entering buildings or homes.
• Sealing Systems in Electronic Devices: With water resistance and weatherproofing capabilities, D-shaped EPDM gaskets are ideal for protecting sensitive components in electronic devices, especially those used outdoors.
• Aerospace Industry: The vibration-dampening and heat-resistant properties of EPDM make it an ideal material for components requiring high durability and airtight sealing in aerospace applications.

Advantages of Use:

The 12x12x3 D-shaped EPDM foam rubber gasket provides not only durability and aesthetic appeal but also long-term efficiency, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. This product helps prevent damage-causing factors and extends the life of the equipment and structures it protects.
