EPDM Rubber Market Analysis and Outlook 2016
EPDM Rubber Market Analysis and Outlook 2016
EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene Monomer rubber, a type of synthetic rubber, is an elastomer which is characterized by a wide range of applications. The ethylene content is around 45% to 75%. The higher the ethylene content the higher the loading possibilities of the polymer, better mixing and extrusion. EPDM rubber is used in vibrators and seals, radiator, garden and appliance hose, tubing, washers, belts, electrical insulation. EPDM RUBBER is ideal for outdoor applications because of its excellent resistance to ozone, oxidants, and severe weather conditions. Other outstanding characteristics of EPDM RUBBER include excellent color stability, heat resistance, and dielectric qualities. EPDM offers many of the advantages of neoprene, at a lower cost. EPDM has a tendency of being conductive when carbon black is mixed in the compound. Most black color rubber compounds are mixed with carbon black. EPDM is not recommended as a electrical insulator.
