Hi Graham Bennett, am burning a small piece in a hood fitted with fume extractor. We observe the basic laboratory safety rules. The burning only takes 1 min and will happen once every 2 months.
We have safety masks in the factory and a lab with a chimney and an fume extractor. Burning the samples might just be okay. Can you share the more elaborate tests to distinguish the EPDM and SB?
Thanks very much Metten for your response. There is no contact with glass. The EPDM parts will be in contact with galvalume sheet of 0.7mm in thickness. Are there any safety concerns when burning the rubber?
Heat Aging. The parts are exposed to heat of up 130C. SBR couldn't withstand that sort of temperatures. Silicone would be the last option if EPDM didn't work but for now it's working fine.
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...
