Engineered for both hot and cold process applications, Qmonix 558CH high-purity EPDM rubber resists chemicals, as well as the ozone and UV used in sanitization processes. FKM 51 SCG carbon-backbone polymer resists harsh chemicals and ozone, and has a thermal stability to 500°F. NBR 536EG rubber withstands environments that require low-compression set, abrasion resistance and low-temperature performance, and resists oils found in food products such as milk and yogurt.
