EPDM RUBBER PAD FOR MT RAIL

What It Is

An EPDM rubber pad is a flexible rubber cushion/seal placed between metal parts and the roof surface or rail components in solar mounting systems. It is used to:

• Protect surfaces

• Absorb vibration

• Seal against moisture

• Reduce metal‑to‑metal wear

This type of pad is commonly supplied with MT Rail mounting accessories to help protect the rail and roof, and to provide a long‑lasting weather‑resistant interface.

📊 Shortest Info — Features & Specifications

✔ Features

• Weather‑resistant material — EPDM rubber stays flexible outdoors in sun, rain, and temperature changes.

• Cushion & vibration damping — reduces noise and wear where hardware contacts metal or roof.

• Waterproof sealing — helps prevent water tracking into joints.

• Protects surfaces — prevents scratching or damage to rail and roof.

• Easy installation — pads simply sit where needed under components.

📐 Typical Specifications

• Material: EPDM rubber (flexible and durable).

• Color: Usually black.

• Thickness: Often 2 mm – 12 mm depending on pad type.

• Sizes (examples):
  • ~60 mm × ~45 mm × ~12 mm (larger pad)
  • ~50 mm × ~25 mm × ~2 mm (smaller pad)

• Application Areas: Under rail supports, brackets, adapters, clamps — anywhere a cushion or seal is needed.
