EPDM
EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene rubber, is a synthetic rubber made by copolymerizing ethylene, propylene and a small amount of diolefin monomers.
Material Profile
Ethylene propylene diene diene rubber (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber made from the copolymerization of three monomers: ethylene, propylene and a small amount of non-conjugated diolefin. Its molecular main chain is highly saturated, so it has excellent weathering, ozone and UV resistance, making it resistant to aging and cracking under long-term outdoor use. In addition, EPDM also shows excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, acid and alkali chemical corrosion and good electrical insulation, but its oil resistance is poor.
application scenario
Based on its excellent aging and weathering resistance, EPDM is the material of choice for outdoor applications. In the automotive industry, it is widely used in the manufacture of door and window seals, radiator hoses and cooling system components. In the construction field, EPDM is ideal for roof waterproofing membranes, curtain wall seals and door and window seals. In addition, it is also commonly used to make seals for household appliances such as washing machines, and sheathing and insulation for wires and cables.
