This guide from Essentra explores EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a synthetic rubber widely used in industries such as automotive and construction. We compare it with silicone, another versatile material, highlighting EPDM's advantages in terms of cost, chemical resistance, and durability. Key topics include:
• EPDM material, mechanical, and foam properties
• Common EPDM applications, such as gaskets, o-rings, and weather stripping
• EPDM's suitability for automotive, HVAC, and outdoor environments
By understanding EPDM's characteristics, you can make informed decisions for your industrial and sealing needs.
