Composed of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene
Monomer), Onix oers performance and
reliability unmatched by other products.
With a maximum operating temperature of
180°F (82°C) and a maximum pressure rating
in excess of 800 psi, Onix is more than ready to
handle even the toughest conditions. In addi-
tion to the superior properties of EPDM, Onix
contains an Aramid reinforcing layer which pro-
vides increased strength.
Onix also contains AlumaShield Advanced
Technology, an aluminum oxygen barrier.
AlumaShield helps protect the system uid
from unwanted oxygen permeation.
