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.
