What is EDPM Rubber?
EPDM is ethylene propylene diene monomer, an extremely durable synthetic rubber with numerous advantageous characteristics. According to ASTM D-1418, a standard classification system for elastomers,
EPDM is an M-class rubber. EPDM rubber gaskets provide reliable, long-term sealing in extreme weather conditions and across a wide range of temperatures. Compared to other rubber materials, EPDM offers excellent resistance against aging, wear, wind, weather, ozone, and ultraviolet light. A good thermal and electrical insulator, but exhibits poor compatibility with petroleum products and concentrated acids.
