        Market Definition

        Ethylene propylene diene monomer, or EPDM, is a copolymer of ethylene, propylene, and non-conjugated diene monomers. EPDM is an M-class synthetic rubber under ASTM standard D-1418. It is a saturated elastomer that provides resistance against polar solvents. The three major processes used to manufacture EPDM are slurry (suspension), gas-phase, and solution, with the latter being the most common commercial method. These processes use catalysts such as Ziegler-Natta or metallocene catalysts. EPDM rubber provides resistance against heat, aging, UV, and ozone. However, EPDM has poor resistance against hydrocarbon fuel and solvents.
