Advantages Of EPDM
- EPDM rubber has excellent heat, ozone and chemical resistance properties. In addition to this, EPDM also has good physical properties and is resistant to polar fluids. EPDM also has excellent resistance to low temperatures. Low-temperature properties require the polymer to be amorphous and low on ethylene. Good electrical properties require high ethylene to facilitate high doses of inert mineral fillers to give good electrical resistance. EPDM rubber can be compounded to provide excellent electrical resistance.

Disadvantages Of EPDM
- EPDM is not suitable for exposure to petroleum-based fluids and di-ester lubricants.
