EPDM Granules

What is EPDM Material?

Rubber is a natural product produced by plants and is found in many products used in our daily lives. Rubber has played an important role in human history throughout the development stages of human civilizations.

EPDM is crystallized from ethylene, propylene, and a diene compound. It is widely accepted in industries such as rubber flooring industries. It has high resistance to weather, ozone, and sunlight.

EPDM rubber is an extremely versatile material that can be used in a variety of applications. It also serves as a more affordable alternative to silicone and can last for long periods with proper use, saving both time and money.

Properties

The EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) sheet provides excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, and UV exposure. It is highly recommended for applications where synthetic rubber is highly exposed to the environment. It provides excellent chemical resistance and dynamic properties.
