EPDM Elastomer

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (or EPDM) is a synthetic rubber which is utilized in a large number of applications, especially in the automobile and construction industry. It is extremely durable and flexible. It features a single bond molecular structure, chemically saturated backbone that makes it greatly resistant to outdoor conditions and this is due to the reason that UV and O₃ aren’t able to split its single bonded molecular structure in the same way as rubbers with double bonded structures. EPDM has a usual harness range of 50-90 Shore A and is suited well for temperatures between -80° F to 300° F.

Advantages

EPDM is a long-lasting synthetic rubber, and under the right usage conditions, it can last up to decades. Its advantages include:

  • High tensile strength
  • Excellent outdoor weatherproofing (most weatherproof rubber)
  • Resistance to abrasion, UV and ozone
  • Excellent heat ageing and weather resistance
  • Good low-temperature flexibility
  • Resistance to steam, acids, alkalis, ketones, Skydrol, phosphate, oxygen, and brake fluid

Disadvantages

Some of the limitations of EPDM Elastomer includes:

  • Poor resistance to petroleum oils and solvents and di-ester base lubricants
  • Not resistant to flame
  • Not suitable for food applications
  • Fair tear resistance

Customization

COR can supply custom EPDM extrusion profiles in many sizes and shapes. Send us your requirements in a dwg., pdf or even on a napkin, with dimensions and we can try and quote according to your request.
