Ethylene Propylene is available as a copolymer (EPR) or as a terpolymer (EPDM).
These elastomers have excellent resistance to heat, water, steam, weathering and ozone.
Ethylene Propylene based compounds are not recommended for use with mineral or petroleum based fluids.
Sulphur cured grades offer a typical temperature range of –50°C to +120°C and optimal mechanical properties.
Peroxide-cured grades can reach a maximum temperature of approximately +150°C in hot water, alcohols, organic and inorganic acids and bases.
EPDM is not suitable for use in mineral oils.
