EPDM rubber (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a versatile synthetic elastomer with excellent resistance to weather, ozone, UV rays and extreme temperatures. At Everest Rubber, we manufacture EPDM rubber sheets, EPDM rolls and EPDM gaskets for outdoor, automotive, marine, railway and construction applications. ISO 9001 certified manufacturer with fast delivery across the USA.
Weather-Resistant EPDM Rubber
Elastomer with maximum deterioration-resistance due to weather exposure and high temperatures, resists continuous outdoor exposure in extreme weather, extremely resistant to ozone.
EPDM is one of the most versatile rubbers, standing out for its excellent performance in outdoor applications. It is highly resistant to aging even when exposed to the most aggressive external conditions: water vapor, ultraviolet rays, ozone, saltpeter or extreme weather conditions.
EPDM
The main advantages of EPDM are its excellent resistance to oxidation, ozone and tear effects. They are very flexible, so high levels of fillers and plasticizers can be added while maintaining good physical properties and allowing the production of functionally economical blends.
Highest resistance to oxygenated solvents such as ketones, alcohols, aldehydes, ethers and esters
