EPDM is generally used as the raw material for rubber water pipes. Water pipes produced with EPDM are generally used for industrial water pipes. This is mainly because EPDM pipes have excellent properties such as wear resistance, high and low temperature resistance, and oxidation resistance. But can it be used as edible water pipes?
The improved EPDM water pipe can be used as edible water pipes. The main reasons are as follows:
1. Because the main polymer chain of EPDM is fully saturated. This property makes EPDM resistant to heat, light, and ozone. EPDM is essentially non-polar, resistant to polar solutions and chemicals, and has low water absorption. It also has good insulation properties.
2. Most of the soft connections of community faucets have soft rubber tubes. Europe and the United States are currently using EPDM to make soft connections. EPDM rubber cannot migrate, the material cannot breed bacteria, and the material quality must reach the drinking water grade before it can be used as a drinking water pipe.
3. If EPDM serves as a drinking water pipe, we must first solve some problems. For example: EPDM rubber has excellent ozone, heat and aging resistance. Thus it is suitable for the field of drinking water pipes. However, for drinking water pipe materials, they need to be non-toxic and harmless, and cannot cause harm to the human body. And the price must be within an acceptable range.
In summary, rubber water pipes can be used as edible drinking rubber water pipes.
