Key Properties of EPDM-Elastomers

Ethylene-propylene elastomers offer the following key properties:

• lowest density (0.86 g/cm³) of all commercially available rubbers
• processable via moldding, extrudsion, or calendering
• fast and efficient mixing with additives
• lighter filler loadings than accepted by other elastomers
• very good resistance to heat and oxidation
• very good resistance to ozone and weathering
• good chemical resistance
• good low temperature flexibility (depending on ethylene content)
• good electrical insulation properties
• good vulcanizate physical properties (stress-strain behavior, compression set).
