Usa Industrials BULK-RS-E60HT-23 Epdm Rubber Sheet 60A

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-E60HT-23 is a peroxide-cured EPDM rubber sheet rated at 60 Shore A durometer, measuring 12 inches long by 12 inches wide by 1/16 inch thick. Peroxide curing improves tensile strength and raises the upper service temperature limit compared to sulfur-cured EPDM, making this sheet well suited for sealing, gasketing, and insulating applications where heat and moisture are present. The black color and closed-cell-compatible surface make it easy to cut and fabricate on the bench. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance techs are the typical end users for this material.

This EPDM sheet is designed for use in applications involving steam, hot water, and outdoor exposure. EPDM offers excellent resistance to UV radiation, ozone, and weathering, which makes it a reliable choice for exterior mechanical seals and roof-penetration gaskets. It is commonly used to fabricate custom gaskets, pipe isolation pads, vibration dampers, and weatherstrip blanks in both residential and light commercial mechanical systems. The 12 inch by 12 inch format is a practical bench-stock size for field fabrication.

Key Features

• Peroxide-cured formulation for enhanced tensile strength and elevated temperature resistance
• 60 Shore A durometer provides firm but compressible sealing performance
• Excellent resistance to UV, ozone, and outdoor weathering
• Well suited for steam and hot water service environments
• 12 inches x 12 inches sheet size supports field-cut gasket and pad fabrication
• 1/16 inch thickness works for thin-profile gaskets and sealing layers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or fabrication-stock material for gasketing and sealing applications in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial mechanical systems where EPDM compound is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting should be done with a sharp utility knife, die cutter, or gasket punch on a clean flat surface. Shut off and depressurize any system before removing an existing gasket or seal and installing a fabricated replacement. Verify that EPDM is chemically compatible with the fluid or gas in the application before installation, as EPDM is not suitable for petroleum-based fluids or fuels. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer torque sequences when compressing gaskets in flanged connections.
