EPDM rubber seal is a very common type of seal nowadays. So how to identify the EPDM strips?

1. Taste. The secondary rubber strips will have a certain odor, especially pungent. Normal rubber and plastic seals will only have the taste of plastic, and even if they are of good quality, they will not smell at all.

2, appearance. The appearance of the secondary sealing strip is very rough at first glance, the hand feels very hard, and there is no tension. On the other hand, the appearance is shiny, soft and pull.

3. Specific gravity. The specific gravity of the second sealing strip is particularly heavy, because the filler used in the production uses heavy calcium or talcum powder and other filling materials, which will increase the specific gravity of the sealing strip, and the good sealing strip will be directly Light calcium carbonate is used as a filling material.

4. Install the door and window sealing strips on the profiles or directly wrap them on the plastic profiles and place them in a high-temperature place for drying. The secondary glue strips will pass through the high temperature, the contact surfaces of the profiles will change color, and the surface will be stained with dust. , And there are yellowing and oil seepage.

6. Burn the rubber strip with fire. The biggest difference between rubber plastic strip and EPDM rubber strip is that the rubber and plastic are black ash after burning, and there will be some stickiness. After burning, the yuan-ethylene-propylene rubber strip is white ash, which becomes black with a pinch.
