EPDM（Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer） is a synthetic rubber mainly polymerized by ethylene, propylene and a small amount of diene monomers. EPDM rubber material is a chemical copolymer and belongs to synthetic rubber material. It is known for its excellent anti-oxidation, anti-ozone and anti-corrosion properties. It belongs to the polyolefin family and has excellent vulcanization characteristics. EPDM has the lowest specific gravity of all rubbers and can absorb a large amount of fillers and oils without much impact on its performance, so it can be made into low-cost rubber compounds.
Low Density And High Filling: EPDM is a low-density rubber that can be filled with oil and fillers in large quantities to reduce costs.
Aging Resistance: It has excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, heat resistance, acid and alkali resistance, water vapor resistance, color stability, electrical properties, oil filling and normal temperature fluidity.
Corrosion Resistance: Due to its non-polarity, it has good resistance to various polar chemicals such as alcohols, acids, alkalis, oxidants, refrigerants, detergents, animal and vegetable oils, ketones, fats, etc.
Water Vapor Resistance: excellent performance in high-temperature steam, no change in appearance.
Superheated Water Resistance: closely related to the vulcanization system. Under a certain vulcanization system, the performance of EPDM does not change much after being soaked in superheated water.
Electrical Properties: excellent electrical insulation and corona resistance.
Elasticity: no polar substituents in the molecular structure, low molecular cohesive energy, and flexibility.
Adhesion: due to the lack of active groups in the molecular structure, self-adhesion and mutual adhesion are poor.
EPDM is widely used in the manufacture of wires and cables in the fields of industry, automobiles, construction, electrical, and medical. Including seals in the automotive industry, waterproof materials in the construction industry, insulating sleeves and sheath materials for wires and cables, and other rubber products such as hoses, rubber seals, rubber sheets, etc.
Automotive Industry: used for automotive sealing strips, gaskets, windshield seals, etc.
Construction Industry: used for roofing materials, insulation layers, window seals and waterproof materials.
Electrical And Electronic products: as cable sheaths and insulation materials.
Industrial Applications: used for mechanical seals, conveyor belts and other industrial products.
