As the most water-resistant rubber type, EPDM rubber is widely used for the manufacturing of sheeting used at high temperatures. Also known as ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, it has uses for both general and speciality applications. Polymerization and catalyst technologies in use today provide the ability to design EPDM rubber to meet specific and demanding applications as well as processing needs.

Properties:

• Good resistance to most water-based chemicals, abrasives and tearing
• Stable, saturated polymer backbone structure
• Electrical resistivity
• Flexible operation at high and low temperatures
• Resistant to polar solvents like water, acids, alkalies, and phosphate esters

Application:

As synthetic rubber continues to grow in demand, EPDM applications have spiked in the automotive, construction, and mechanical industry. Its inherent features allow smooth operation in electrical insulation, gaskets and lamination. Its applications expand to steam hoses, high temperature-resistant seals and roll covers. Polymerization and catalyst technologies have led to its use in the industries such as automotive weather-stripping and seals, glass-run channels, radiator, garden and appliance hoses, tubing, belts, electrical insulation, roofing membrane, rubber mechanical goods, plastic impact modification, thermoplastic vulcanizates and motor oil additive applications.
