EPDM (ethylene-propylene diene monomer [M-class] rubber) is a type of synthetic rubber that is popular for a broad spectrum of applications. It is one of the most versatile and durable rubbers available, providing outstanding heat, weather, and ozone resistance.
EPDM rubber is suitable for used in extreme cold temperatures (as low as -60°F/-51°C) and outdoor applications, and is resistant to steam (up to 300°F/150°C), hot water, direct sunlight/UV, silicone oils and greases, dilute acids, ketones, alkalis, and automotive break fluids. It also makes an excellent electrical insulator.
EPDM o-rings, gaskets, and seals are commonly used in automotive manufacturing, medical devices, household appliances, water and wastewater systems, and other challenging applications.
In other forms, EPDM rubber is used for everything from garden hose to roofing membranes to speaker components.
