Engineered for extremes
EPDM Steam 75P
Read the code: EPDM, STM duty (steam and hot water), 75 Shore A, P for peroxide cure, recipe 01.
Development grade. The values below are design targets, not measured results. Each target becomes a typical value, with the number of lots and the test report behind it, as testing is completed.
A 75 Shore A peroxide-cured EPDM for steam, hot water, condensate and cooling water in thermal power plants: boiler feed and condensate pumps, valves, heat exchanger gaskets and expansion joints. Not for mineral oils.

Qualification plan
The grade code says what this compound is designed for. This table says what it has passed: a duty is claimed only once its report is on file.
| Test | Standard or method | Conditions | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam ageing | In-house autoclave method, published with results | 168 h and 500 h at 160 °C and 180 °C | Planned |
| Hot water ageing | Long-term immersion | 1,000 h at 150 °C | Planned |
| Pump OEM approval | Customer qualification | On boiler feed and condensate pump seals | Planned |
Design targets are the values the compound is designed to reach. They are not measured results and they are not a warranty. Release limits apply to lots once the recipe is approved. The grade code says what the compound is designed for; the qualification plan says what it has passed. Confirm suitability in your own application and fluids.
