Abstract

This article discusses the physical and chemical properties of EPDM polymers, cure systems for EPDM polymers in which ethylidene norbornene is the third monomer, and some of the more significant uses of EPDM polymers, as well as compound development formulations for the specific application. Various automotive applications of these synthetic rubbers include: weather-stripping for doors, windows and trunk lids; radiator heater and air emission hoses; various tubing specifications; brake components; and suspension parts. In conclusion it is stated that it is the compounder's responsibility to recognize the polymer's capabilities and to enhance them within the confines of cost and processability to meet the customer's performance requirements.
