Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Market Overview 2031

Category: Business

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, a type of synthetic rubber, is primarily used in automotive, roofing, and plastic modification applications. Synthetic rubbers are predominantly polymers synthesized by using petroleum products. Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer of propylene, ethylene, and diene component. The ethylene content is around 45%, while the diene component ranges between 2.5% and 12%. The percentage content of ethylene decides the mixing and extrusion properties of the final rubber product. Ethylene propylene diene terpolymer can be used over a wide temperature range (-50°C to 150°C) and has considerable mechanical strength. This makes it suitable for usage in diverse applications. EPDM is extensively employed in the automotive industry owing to its chemical properties such as high temperature sustainability, and resistance to heat, harsh weather conditions, ozone, and steam. It is typically utilized in the manufacture of interior panels, rear lamp gaskets, hoses, sidewalls, inner tubes, front and rear bumpers, brake systems, v-belts, door seals, and various other automotive components.
