EPDM & EPM: Versatile Elastomers are advanced elastomeric materials designed to withstand demanding industrial environments. Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) and Ethylene Propylene Monomer (EPM) are non-polar, saturated rubbers produced through sophisticated polymerization, offering exceptional resistance to weather, ozone, UV radiation, and temperature extremes. Their chemical stability and resilience make them ideal for applications requiring durable, flexible, and long-lasting materials.

Functional Properties of EPDM & EPM: Versatile Elastomers

• Exceptional Weather and Ozone Resistance: Maintain mechanical integrity under prolonged UV and ozone exposure, ideal for outdoor use.

• Wide Temperature Tolerance: Flexible from –50°C to +150°C, suitable for diverse climates and thermal conditions.

• Water and Steam Resistance: Low water absorption and excellent steam resistance support sealing and insulation.

• Chemical Resistance: Robust against polar chemicals including acids, alkalis, and phosphate ester-based fluids.

• Electrical Insulation: High electrical insulation due to their non-polar, chemically stable nature.

Applications of EPDM & EPM Elastomers

Automotive: Weather seals, gaskets, radiator hoses, brake components, window and door seals
Construction & Infrastructure: Roofing membranes, window gaskets, expansion joints, waterproof sheets
Electrical & Electronics: Cable insulation, high-voltage insulators, protective covers
Industrial: Steam and water hoses, conveyor belts, protective coatings, sealing for piping systems

Key Benefits of EPDM & EPM: Versatile Elastomers

• Durability: Extended product life through resistance to environmental and chemical wear.

• Flexibility: Maintains elasticity in cold conditions, reducing cracking and failures.

• Cost Efficiency: Long service life lowers maintenance and replacement expenses.

• Design Versatility: Easily formulated with additives to meet specific application demands.

• Sustainability: Long-lasting materials reduce waste and align with eco-friendly goals.

• Custom Compounding: Options for flame retardancy, color stability, oil resistance, and versatile processing (extrusion, molding, calendering).
