Additional Information
Ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) is a widely used elastomer known for its outstanding weather and ozone resistance. It exhibits excellent performance in outdoor environments, resisting degradation from sunlight, rain, and ozone exposure. This makes EPDM ideal for applications requiring long-term durability in harsh conditions, such as roofing membranes and automotive parts.
EPDM also offers good heat resistance, typically performing well up to 100°C. Additionally, its inherent flame retardancy and electrical insulation properties contribute to its use in electrical applications.
Temperature range: Standard EPDM performs well within -40°C to +100°C. High-temperature grades can withstand higher temperatures.
