EPDM Rubber

EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) is an elastomer which is characterized by wide range of applications. EPDM rubber is used in automotive weather-stripping and seals, glass-run channel, radiator, garden and appliance hose, tubing, washers, belts, electrical insulation,as well as electrical insulation it is also used as a medium for water resistance in high voltage polymeric cable jointing installations, roofing membrane, geomembranes, rubber mechanical goods, plastic impact modification, thermoplastic, vulcanizates, motor oil additive, pond liner, electrical cable-jointing and chainmaille applications.
