Description

Technical Field

[0002] EPDM is a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene, and a non-conjugated diene. The diene has a unique structure where one of the two double bonds copolymerizes; the unsaturated double bond primarily serves as a crosslinking site, while the other unsaturated bond does not form the polymer backbone but rather a side chain.

EPDM is inherently nonpolar, resistant to polar solutions and chemicals, has low water absorption, and possesses excellent insulating properties. During EPDM production, its properties can be adjusted by changing the amounts of the three monomers, the ethylene-propylene ratio, the molecular weight and its distribution, and the vulcanization method.
