Material Selection & Properties

Understand TPE, TPR, TPV and PVC for hoses, sealing strips and extruded profiles. Compare flexibility, processing, weather resistance, temperature, chemical compatibility and specification requirements.

Silicone rubber vs EPDM: compare temperature range, flexibility, weather resistance, water compatibility, cost and compliance considerations for hoses and sealing profiles.

Compare EPDM, NBR, CR, SBR and IIR rubber materials by oil resistance, weathering, water compatibility, air retention, abrasion and outdoor performance. A practical material selection guide for custom hoses, sealing strips and extruded rubber profiles.

Compare EPDM, Silicone and NBR rubber hoses across temperature, oil resistance, weatherability and cost. Use our decision guide to pick the right hose material for your fluid, environment and budget.

EPDM, silicone, and NBR are the three most common rubber hose materials. Compare temperature range, oil resistance, weather resistance, and cost to pick the right hose.

EPDM rubber hose is a flexible, weatherproof tube made from Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. Learn what it is, why it is chosen, where it is used, and how RESRUB makes it custom.
