EPDM (5778)

Parco's guide, 5778 EPDM Seals (Are the seals in your drinking water system ready for ANSI/NSF-61?) describes key characteristics and benefits of Parco's 5778 ethylene-propylene ("EPDM") seals. Specifically, this guide highlights how Parco 5778 EPDM seals meet ANSI/NSF 61 certification for use with drinking water and meet FDA §177.2600 requirements for food-handling equipment. Additionally, it compares the physical properties of various Parco EPDM compounds.

Parco 5778 seals employ internally lubricated, peroxide-cured, EPDM compounds and are used where certification to ANSI/NSF Standard 61 is required. These seals combine excellent resistance to swelling in chloramine-treated drinking water, very low compression set for extended service life, and low tension set for quick snap-back during installation.
