Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR, EPDM)

Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPDM) elastomers have a fair tensile strength and excellent resistance to weathering and ozone, and chemical attack. They also exhibit excellent electrical insulation properties. Peroxide cured elastomers exhibit excellent heat ageing, and resistance to compression set from –40 to +150°C, more so if sulphur cured.
