Key
Characteristics
Good ozone resistance and extendibility. |
Further
Comments
Very good water resistant, and this resistance is maintained
to high temperatures (up to 180°C in steam, for peroxide
cures). The highest temperature resistance is achieved by
using peroxide cured grades. Has excellent resistance to atmospheric
ageing, oxygen and ozone up to about 150°C. It has good
resistance to most water-based chemicals and to vegetable-based
hydraulic oils. It has poor resistance, however, to mineral
oils and diester based lubricants. |

Ethylene-Propylene
Diene Rubber (EPDM)
Ethylene-Propylene Diene
Rubber applications include automotive parts, electrical applicances,
cables and waterproofing membranes. EPDM products are used for
all applications where outstanding resistance to ageing and ozone
is required.
