EPDM HT datasheet
EPDM HT datasheet
09-562
This Industrial Gaskets compound is based upon Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubber (EPDM).
It has been compounded as a high performance plate heat exchanger gasket compound and is
based on polymers produced from new ‘metallocene’ catalysts. The cure system is peroxide
based.
09-562 has excellent resistance to air ageing and compression set and is suitable for
applications where a long gasket life is required or the gasket is operating at temperatures that
are traditionally high for EPDM rubber compounds. 09-562 provides outstanding temperature
resistance; Industrial Gaskets recommend an upper temperature limit of 150°C (305°F) but for
many applications a hot inlet temperature of 165°C (330°F) can be tolerated.

All information is offered without guarantees as individual applications have varying factors. These include plate
and gasket design, specific operating conditions, exact nature of the contact media and their combined effect on
the composition of the compound selected. The data should therefore be used as a general guide having due
consideration for any adverse operating conditions.
Industrial Gaskets Technical Staff are available to offer advice and guidance on specialised applications that may
not covered by this data sheet.
The information contained herein is accurate to the extent of our current technical knowledge. Industrial Gaskets makes no warranty that the
material is suitable for all applications. Customers should undertake their own tests to ensure suitability for particular conditions of operation.
