This application relates to the field of rubber sealing materials technology, and discloses a low-temperature resistant and high-resilience EPDM seal, its preparation method, and its application. The low-temperature resistant and high-resilience EPDM seal of this application uses a rubber matrix,
carbon black,
plasticizer,
peroxide vulcanizing agent,
vulcanization activator, crosslinking agent, and
antioxidant as raw materials. The rubber matrix includes EPDM and modified EPDM, with modified EPDM accounting for 8-35% of the total
mass of the rubber matrix. The
plasticizer is selected from at least one of epoxidized
fatty acid esters, epoxidized vegetable oils, and
unsaturated fatty acid esters. Furthermore, the composition and proportion of each
raw material are specified. The preparation method involves mixing,
vulcanization, primary
vulcanization, and secondary vulcanization steps, enabling the low-temperature resistant and high-resilience EPDM seal of this application to possess both excellent low-
temperature resistance and high resilience, and high-
temperature resistance to compression deformation, thus meeting the long-term sealing requirements of
new energy vehicle engine cooling systems under different regions and operating conditions.
