Meltpoint Plastics manufactures extruded profiles in both EPDM and Silicone, two of the most reliable elastomers for demanding sealing applications. Each material offers unique performance advantages, making them suitable across a wide range of industries from construction and transportation to food and medical.

EPDM Rubber

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a highly durable synthetic rubber known for its resistance to weathering, ozone, and water. It is one of the most cost-effective solutions for large-scale sealing needs.

Key Benefits of EPDM:

• Excellent resistance to UV, ozone, and outdoor exposure

• Maintains flexibility across hot and cold conditions

• Strong electrical insulation properties

• Long service life at an economical cost

Typical Applications:

• Window and door gaskets

• Automotive weatherstrips and hoses

• HVAC and roofing systems

• Industrial sealing and vibration damping

Silicone Rubber

Silicone is a high-performance elastomer prized for its thermal stability and purity. It remains flexible at extreme temperatures and is available in FDA-approved formulations for food and medical use.

Key Benefits of Silicone:

• Withstands continuous high and low temperatures

• Superior UV and ozone resistance for outdoor use

• Available in FDA- and medical-grade options

• Non-reactive, odorless, and safe for sensitive environments

Typical Applications:

• Food processing and medical equipment seals

• Lighting and electronics gaskets

• Outdoor weatherstrips exposed to harsh climates

• Specialty industrial applications requiring high purity
