ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a durable synthetic rubber widely used in weatherproofing, sealing, and roofing applications. It is made from a combination of ethylene, propylene, and a small amount of a third compound called a diene, which gives it excellent elasticity. EPDM is highly resistant to weather, UV rays, ozone, and chemicals, making it ideal for outdoor use. It remains flexible over a wide temperature range and is often used in seals, hoses, and roofing membranes to prevent leaks and withstand harsh environmental conditions.
