Ethylene
Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Rubber
EPDM is a synthetic rubber compound
that consists primarily of ethylene
and propylene. The addition of a small
amount of diene allows for the curing
of rubber with sulfur, which changes
the structure of the chemical structure
to that of an unsaturated polymer.
EPDM rubber is similar in its properties
to Neoprene
rubber.
Pierce-Roberts EPDM resists degradation
from ozone, oxidants, high temperatures,
and extreme weather conditions. Additionally,
EPDM rubber has superior color stability
and dielectric ability. Pierce-Roberts
uses EPDM synthetic rubber compounds
for both general and specialty outdoor
applications, including steam hoses,
high temperature-resistant seals,
electrical insulation, roll covers,
and more.
