EPDM vs SBR Rubber
EPDM vs SBR Rubber
(OP)
Hi everyone!
I am a QC manager for a stove manufacturing company. We are in the process of ordering EPDM components from an overseas supplier. This is after we tested the components with SBR grade rubber and it didn't perform well. My question is, when I receive the EPDM components, what QC tests can I perform to ascertain what has been sent is actually EPDM and not SBR?

Properly formulated EPDM with peroxide cure should be able to withstand 130°C. If there is contact with glass, you might want to test contact staining. (glass itself isn't an issue, but special coatings on the glass might be a problem)

(There are more elaborated tests to distinguish the different types CR, NBR etc, but it sometimes requires to inhale the fumes and I don't encourage that.)
