Chemical Name: Ethylene-propylene

ISO/DIN 1629: EPDM

Ethylene propylene rubber (EPM) is a polymer made of ethylene and propylene. Molded parts and sealing components made of EPDM are preferred in washing machines, dishwashing machines and plumbing fittings.
Seals made of this material are also used in hydraulic system with flame retardant hydraulic fluids of the Group HFC and Group HFD and in hydraulic brake systems.
Elastomers made of EPDM have good resistance to ozone, ageing and weathering and are therefore ideal for manufacture of profile strips and sealing strips that are exposed to weathering.
