EPDM material, also known as ethylene propylene diene monomer or EP rubber, is a form of synthetic rubber exhibiting unique characteristics of strong outdoor resistance and robust physical-dynamic properties. These characteristics make it the ideal choice for gasketing, sealing solutions, O-rings, potable water gaskets, grommets, and weather-stripping applications.

Advantages

• EPDM is an excellent fit for applications requiring:

• Weather resistance (heat, ozone, and sunlight)

• Electrical insulation

• Durability (high abrasion resistance & non cracking tendencies)

• High compression set

• Water resistance

Disadvantages

EPDM is a poor fit for applications requiring:

• Oil, gas & fuel resistance (petroleum-based products)

• Resistance to aromatics or solvents

EPDM rubber products come in all shapes and sizes, as demanded by the application. Many industrial and consumer applications rely on EPDM rubber extrusions, rubber molded parts and custom sheet rubber.
