EPDM seals
Made to measure - for commercial use
Made to measure - for commercial use
You are looking for a producerfor seals made ofEPDM (ethylene propylene rubber) - a material that is characterised by a longer service life compared to other materials. The area of application of these seals requires the following material properties:
- High resistance to ozone, UV radiation, heat and weathering
- Very good electrical insulating properties
- High elasticity and excellent dynamic properties
- High resistance to water, salt solutions, alcohol or weak acids
These characteristics make EPDM a ideal material im Automotive sector, in the Baubranche or in the consumer goods industry. In these industries, EPDM seals often have to be optimised and customised to the application environment. You should therefore contact KREMER!
We supply EPDM gaskets in a wide range of variants, from
- Flat gaskets about
- punched and/or Water jet cut gaskets made from EPDM or EPDM cellular rubber through to
- O-rings with FDA approval

EPDM gaskets? That's why KREMER!
Three good reasons why KREMER is the right supplier for EPDM gaskets:
Seals customised precisely to your application
You expect your supplier to understand your needs and be able to fulfil the requirements for your EPDM gasket. The sealing professionals at KREMER want the best solution for you and will work with you to find the perfect seal for your application. We supply customised gaskets to a wide range of customers from every conceivable sector and industry and, over the decades, have become familiar with all the subtleties and details that are important in sealing applications.
Our specialist consultants are therefore in a position to offer you the solution best suited to your requirements or, if desired, to make optimisation suggestions or propose interesting alternatives.
Saving time during procurement
Time is money - things usually have to happen very quickly. That's why fast, transparent and informative quotations are our strength: our gasket experts know that your delivery and production processes must continue to run seamlessly. As soon as we have received your enquiry with all the specifications or you have spoken to our specialist advisors in person, you will receive a customised quote for your EPDM gaskets in the shortest possible time - usually within 24 hours.
As soon as we have all the information about the order for EPDM seals, we can provide you with initial details about the delivery date.
Highest quality
In addition to expertise and speed, you expect your supplier to fulfil your high quality requirements when it comes to EPDM gaskets. After all, they play a decisive role when it comes to process reliability and product quality. At KREMER, we make no compromises when it comes to the quality of our gaskets.
We work exclusively with suppliers who fulfil the high demands of our customers as well as our own. In addition, we are ISO 9001:2015 certified and apply not only qualitative but also ecological and ethical standards when selecting suppliers and partner companies.

Whether O-rings, seals, moulded parts or materials - in the FAQ section you will find answers and lots of further information about the KREMER product range.
It all depends on the dimensions!
The KREMER calculation programmes allow you to calculate the parameters of your application quickly and precisely. Because O-rings, moulded parts or rubber profiles can only function optimally if the dimensions are correct. With just a few clicks, you can carry out installation and tolerance calculations with the KREMER calculation programmes.
When using EPDM gaskets, new challenges must be taken into account when dealing with LED lights. LED lights contain circuit boards in which silver-containing solder is processed. Due to the sulphur contained in the EPDM cellular rubber, the silver triggers chemical reactions in EPDM. In the worst-case scenario, this sulphur migration can cause the LED light source to fail.
An EPDM cellular rubber manufacturer and supplier to our company has identified this problem and found a solution. He uses peroxides instead of sulphur for production. This causes a change in the network structure of the material, which in turn results in small differences in tensile strength and elongation at break. However, these differences can be neglected, as in sealing applications it is the density, compression set, water absorption and available Shore hardness, all of which are within similar tolerance windows, that are decisive.
Due to the higher density of the periodically cross-linked EPDM cellular rubber, seals made from this material are characterised by better resilience. Accordingly, this material is favoured for use in the lighting industry.
The use of self-adhesive film for elastomer products can be helpful for the user for several reasons. Self-adhesive seals are used, for example, for overhead installation of a seal or to prevent loss during transport of pre-assembled components.
If gaskets, especially profile gaskets with self-adhesive film, are used as an assembly aid for installation, this means that the self-adhesive film has no influence on the function of the gasket after installation.
Punched gaskets self-adhesive on film are a convenient solution that makes installation easier and safer. If the adhesive film is to have a function other than that of a self-adhesive film for mounting purposes, this must be explicitly stated in the enquiry. Our product advisors will carefully check the information about the intended use and include it in the quotation according to the possibilities.
In addition to the proper processing and handling of the self-adhesive film in the production of the gasket manufacturer, the storage of the elastomer finished products at the customer's premises plays a decisive role in the durability of the self-adhesive elastomer and silicone products.
The right processing
- Ensure sufficient and even contact pressure.
- Processing tools (including hands) must be free of release agent.
- In the case of extreme loads on bonded joints, it should be noted that the maximum adhesive strength is only reached after approx. 24 hours.
- Avoid permanent tension on the bond.
Underground:
- Do not apply to surfaces containing silicones, paraffins or waxes.
- Do not use paints with adhesion-reducing additives.
- Ensure freedom from dust.
- Ensure freedom from plasticisers.
- Ensure dry surfaces.
- Cover as smooth, closed surfaces as possible.
- Exclude chemical reactions of the surfaces.
Temperatur:
- The optimum bonding temperature is between 20 and 30°C in dry rooms.
- If possible, do not work below 10°C.
- Storage temperature at 18°C and approx. 55% relative humidity.
Influences that impair the adhesive strength of the self-adhesive film:
- High humidity, grease, oil, dust and/or dirt on the surfaces of the parts to be bonded.
- Plasticiser migration.
- Improper storage (deviating from DIN 7716).
Storage and shelf life
As a general rule, the following applies to self-adhesive Seals only a limited shelf life can be assumed. The shelf life of the film may be shorter than the warranty period of 12 months for self-adhesive products. It is therefore particularly important that the storage and processing instructions are observed. We recommend that self-adhesive products are processed within six months.
Warranty conditions "Self-adhesive products"
The product must be processed within six months of delivery, taking into account the above-mentioned storage temperature, humidity and processing instructions. No liability/warranty can be accepted for products processed at a later date.
