TECHNICAL GUIDE

EPDM vs NBR Butterfly Valve Seats

Elastomer selection must follow the exact medium, temperature and concentration.

What matters

EPDM and NBR have different compatibility profiles. Neither is universally better.

What to confirm

State the complete medium, concentration, cleaning chemicals and minimum/maximum temperature before selecting the seat.

Procurement note

Model designations do not replace an operating-condition review. Final selection must follow the actual project requirements and approved technical documents.
