About EPDM
Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is classified as a synthetic rubber as well as an elastomer, which is used in various applications including general and specialty purposes. It is made by forming blocks of ethylene and propylene, which act as a backbone for the long molecular chain of EPDM. The pendant diene is used in small amounts to chemically bind the chains during the vulcanized stem. EPDM rubber is resistant to many chemicals, UV, and ozone. This makes it suitable for outdoor use. The unique feature of EPDM is its stability in a wide range of temperatures. Due to this feature, the material can be stored and used in an environment where the temperature ranges between -20.2°F and 350.6°F. It has resistance to mild acids, alkalis, alcohols, detergents, ketones, silicone oil, and greases but it cannot be exposed to fuel. Thus, it is not recommended for applications in combination with petroleum oils and mineral.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global EPDM market to grow at a CAGR of 7.36% during the period 2017-2021.
