Our EPDM Rubber Sheet for Potable Water is a black, high quality grade of EPDM Rubber. This material is certified for use in contact with drinking water and has been independently tested. It also has very good chemical resistance, high temperature resistance and the ability to resist UV and extreme weather.
EPDM Rubber for Potable Water is available by the linear metre (1200mm wide) in a selection of thicknesses. Some of the features and benefits of this high-quality rubber are expanded on below:
Our EPDM Rubber Sheet for Potable Water has been independently tested and certified by the Australian Water Quality Centre. It meets the requirements of AS/NZS 4020 (2005) Testing of Products for Use in Contact with Drinking Water. It also conforms to the requirements of WSA 109 2011 Table 2.1.
Potable Water EPDM, like our standard EPDM Rubber Sheet, has very good chemical resistance. It is particularly suitable for use with many acids and alkalis as well as water, steam and many types of common industrial fluids. It is not suitable for use with hydrocarbons, oils or fuels. For (a lot) more information on the chemical resistance of EPDM, we suggest consulting our Rubber Chemical Resistance Chart.
In addition to its well-rounded chemical resistance, this EPDM Rubber Sheet exhibits very good resistance to UV. It is completely UV stabilised which makes it highly resistant to ozone and extreme weather conditions.
Our Potable Water EPDM Rubber Sheet has a shore hardness of 65 Duro (±5). Maximum elongation is 350% and tensile strength if 11 MPa. This rubber is ideal for making potable water gaskets and seals for drinking water containers. Gaskets made from EPDM are suitable for prolonged exposure to drinking water and will not deteriorate when submerged.
Our Potable Water EPDM Rubber Sheet has a temperature range of -30°C to +120°C.
This premium quality EPDM Rubber has been subjected to a variety of tests. One of these measured changes in its properties after being exposed to 70°C for 7 days. Results are below:
This grade of EPDM Rubber has been designed specifically for use in applications that require contact with drinking water. That said, its features have led to its use in many other industrial areas, some of which are listed below:

We’ll always supply as long a roll as possible to give you maximum versatility (nothing worse than being just a little too short). Maximum roll length for all thicknesses listed here is 10 metres so if you ordered 8 of one size, it would be supplied in a single roll.
