EPDM Rubber Manufacturing Process

NEW YORK - Feb. 7, 2023 - PRLog -- EPDM rubber is a type of synthetic rubber that has versatile utility in a variety of industries and applications. It is often referred to as EPR (ethylene propylene rubber), ethylene-propylene terpolymer or ethylene-propylene diene monomer. The chemical composition of EPDM rubber is comprised of long molecules called polymers interconnected by physical bonds which becomes the base material for this type of elastomer.

One of the key properties that make EPDM rubbers so unique is its excellent resistance to extreme temperatures, providing an ideal material for use in automotive and construction applications. The superior tensile strength and durability makes it an optimal choice for harsh outdoor conditions like being exposed to rain, sleet, snow, ultraviolet rays, ozone and salt water. It offers superior heat resistance compared to other rubbers and can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to 120°C. Ideal for outdoor use, it retains flexibility even at sub zero temperatures.

Widely used in automotive industry, it is employed in production parts such as axle boots on wheeled vehicles, door seals and washers on car doors & windows, fuel filter housings in engines etc., due to its superior qualities such as durability & adaptability under harsh drivetrain conditions including failure protection & resistant to wear & tear. Moreover its excellent weather-proofing features helps in creating weathertight seals while also accommodating movement between components due to temperature changes or vibration.

In addition ,it's also popularly used across building products manufacturing industries like roofing membranes ,door & window seals ,garden hose insulation ,cable insulation etc., where high quality finish coupled with good resistance against weather conditions are required at the same time . Popular applications includes sealing flat roofs, producing insulation materials for wall cladding systems & waterproof linings for tanks among many others .These properties adds great value making EPDM rubbers one of the most sought after product by major building products manufacturers .
