EPDM is an acronym for “Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer”, it is a type of synthetic rubber made up from chemical properties. EPDM is a rubber that was engineered in the early 1960s, a creation of a company’s desire to create a unique, better synthetic elastomer.
Many industries and companies use EPDM sheet rubber in applications that requires both elasticity, ozone and UV resistance, properties that are a defining feature of the material.
Typical applications of EPDM sheets
- It's an excellent weathering resistance to both fresh and salted water, which means that it is often used when water resistance is important in applications such as electrical cable jointing, roofing membranes, mechanical goods and geomembranes.
- Other areas that it may be used are within seals, glass run channels, radiators and garden appliances.
- EPDM also has good resistance to temperature, this factor makes it a popular solution for marine environments.
- Due to its heat and temperature resistance, it's great for seals in industrial applications.
- EPDM is a popular gasket material.
- EPDM sheets are an excellent solution for areas where chemicals, UV and harsh weather environments are present, it is often used as an EPDM rubber roofing.
