Grade 17 EPDM Diaphragm
Grade #17 is comprised of a high molecular weight EPDM elastomer, which provides increased mechanical properties while reducing compression set. In addition, the diaphragm is peroxide cured* enhancing the biocompatibility of the material.
* Peroxide has replaced sulfur as the preferred method of EPDM curing as sulfur was found to be a biocide which could adversely affect sensitive bioprocesses.
