Comparison of EPDM and TPE in Industrial Sealing Applications Elastomers play a critical role in sealing systems across the construction, automotive, and industrial sectors. Among them, EPDM and TPEs are two of the most commonly used materials, each offering distinct advantages depending on performance requirements, environmental conditions, and manufacturing methods.…

Matching Thermal Behavior of Aluminum & Polyamide in Thermal-Break Systems Thermal-break systems rely on the precise integration of aluminum and polyamide components to achieve both structural strength and superior insulation. However, aluminum and polyamide have significantly different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), which can lead to thermal stress, deformation, or…

EPDM Rubber: Effective Sealing in Thermal & Acoustic Systems EPDM rubber is one of the most reliable elastomers used in sealing systems for building, automotive, and industrial applications. Its exceptional resistance to UV radiation, ozone, extreme temperatures, and moisture makes it particularly valuable in environments where long-term sealing performance is…

The Effect of Humidity on Polyamide & Stabilization Solutions Polyamides such as PA66 GF25 offer a powerful combination of strength, stiffness, and thermal stability, making them ideal for high-performance thermal-break systems. However, one inherent characteristic of polyamides—their ability to absorb moisture—significantly affects their mechanical and dimensional behavior. Understanding how humidity…
