60 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet
60 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet is a medium-durometer ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) sheeting compound meeting the requirements of ASTM D2000 M2AA606 C12 F17, with a service temperature range of -40 to +220°F, a tensile strength of 870 psi minimum, and elongation of 250% minimum. The material is compliant with RoHS, REACH, and California Proposition 65 and is manufactured in the USA. This grade is suited for general industrial gasket and sealing applications where a mid-durometer EPDM with a documented ASTM material specification is required. Available – cloth-inserted (CI) construction for enhanced dimensional stability.

60 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet is the mid-range hardness grade in the Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet line, offering 60 Shore A hardness and meeting the requirements of ASTM D2000 M2AA606 C12 F17. The ASTM D2000 classification makes this grade the documented-specification choice within the line, supporting procurement and engineering requirements where a traceable material standard is required.
At 60 Shore A, the material balances conformability and compression resistance, making it broadly applicable across general industrial gasket and sealing tasks. The -40 to +220°F service temperature range and the inherent weathering, ozone, UV, water, and steam resistance of the EPDM polymer support both indoor and outdoor sealing service. The material is RoHS compliant, REACH compliant, and California Proposition 65 compliant, and is manufactured in the USA.
What differentiates 60 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet from the 50 Durometer and 70 Durometer grades?
60 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet is the only grade in the line carrying an ASTM D2000 M2AA606 C12 F17 classification, making it the documented-specification choice for procurement or engineering requirements that demand a traceable material standard. 50 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet is softer with higher elongation and tensile strength for maximum conformability, while 70 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet is the firmest grade for high-load, high-compression applications.
Why does the 60 Durometer grade carry an ASTM D2000 specification when the other grades do not?
ASTM D2000 M2AA606 C12 F17 is a material classification that defines hardness grade, tensile strength, elongation, and heat aging requirements for rubber compounds. The 60 Durometer grade meets this classification and is documented as such on the Technical Datasheet, which makes it the appropriate choice when design documents, purchase orders, or quality systems reference an ASTM D2000 designation.
What is the service temperature range for 60 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet?
The service temperature range is -40 to +220°F, as listed on the Technical Datasheet.
Is 60 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet suitable for outdoor and UV-exposed applications?
Yes. EPDM polymer provides inherent resistance to weathering, ozone, and UV radiation, making all grades in the Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet line well suited for outdoor exposure. The -40°F lower temperature limit also supports cold-climate installation and service.
How should 60 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet be specified?
Specify grade (60 Durometer Commercial Grade EPDM Sheet), thickness, ASTM D2000 M2AA606 C12 F17 if required by design documentation, compliance requirements, dimensional tolerances, and finished format.
