4mm Thickness Black Rubber Compounds EPDM Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

1. EPDM rubber, offers good low temperature flexibility, high tensile strength, high tear and abrasion resistance and excellent resistance to ozone, water and oxidation. Common uses for EPDM are roofing materials, ditch and pond liners, O-rings, seals, gaskets and weatherstripping, hoses, boots.

2. Because EPDM is a fully saturated compound, no double bonding between atoms, it is highly resistant to ozone attack and makes it highly suitable for applications that will be exposed to sunlight, weathering, or ozone.

3. However, EPDM rubber is not suitable for use with hydrocarbon (petroleum) oils and greases, natural gas, mineral oils.
