EPDM Rubber foam is most demanded material to all over the world because having the wide variety of applications. The greatest test of a construction material is that how it responds in actual conditions because of its properties EPDM has chosen one of the best of among all other rubber foams. The main properties of EPDM are its superior resistance to cold and heat environment. It is extremely well as a barrier to ozone and UV and has the ability to retain its colour over time. The liquid version is formulated differently and will not chalk in comparison to the sheet version. There are many benefits.

Benefits of EPDM Rubber Foam

Resistance to UV exposure, ozone, ageing, weathering and many chemicals that have great for outdoor applications

Stability in high and low temperatures that EPDM material can be used in any environment
Low electrical conductivity

Resistance to steam and water

Used in the production of extruded rubber or moulded rubber products

Properties allow it to be widely used and highly versatile, can be applied successfully in many situations

Used in the proper environment, the parts will work well and last long without breaking down, becoming brittle, etc. saving money on replacements

Less expensive than silicone having similar properties

EPDM rubber foam is one of the best rubber foam and used in industries with a wide acceptance that provides thermal set elastomer that modified to various processes with their physical properties like high strength, UV stability even at the lower temperature and that has been also used for immediate moisture proof long term roofing. EPDM is versatile in nature that is suitable for a number of requirements in different kind of industries.

EPDM is a very light weight rubber as compared to other categories of Rubber as the end product is long in length and more useful because of its long lasting quality it is used in the environment without break down that become brittle which saves money on replacements. EPDM is resistance to UV exposure, ozone, ageing, weathering, and many other chemicals which make it more beneficial. EPDM rubber foam is used in automotive weather stripping and seals, glass run channel, radiator, garden and appliance hose, tubing, belts, electrical insulation, roofing membrane, rubber mechanical goods, plastic impact modification, thermoplastic and motor oil applications. It is also used to make moisture barriers, pond membranes, vehicle glazing systems, bumpers, gaskets, valves and pumps as it is resistance to steam and water that means moisture resistant.
