At Fairchild Industries, innovation has always been at the heart of what we do. Since 1961, we’ve been manufacturing high-quality rubber and plastic components for industries ranging from automotive and construction to agriculture and beyond. Over the decades, we’ve made millions of seals—literally. And one day it hit us: if we’ve been making seals for glass all these years… why not just make the glass too? https://fairchildindustries.com/glass-blog/
Understanding the Role of EPDM in Modern Manufacturing EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene monomer, has become a cornerstone material in industrial sealing applications due to its durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental stress. It is widely used in automotive, construction, and glazing industries where long-term performance is essential. Rubber-based solutions are preferred for their ability to maintain structural integrity under extreme weather conditions, including heat, UV exposure, and moisture. These qualities make EPDM a trusted choice for manufacturers seeking reliable sealing systems that can withstand time and harsh environments without degrading. Benefits and Applications of EPDM Extrusions The versatility of EPDM Extrusions allows manufacturers to design custom profiles tailored to specific applications. These extrusions are commonly used for sealing doors, windows, and enclosures, providing airtight and watertight protection. They offer excellent ela...
