These days rubber foams are considered as an economical material due to their number of applications and advantageous properties such as light weight, buoyant, acoustic insulation, inertness and good aging. EPDM rubber is an synthetic rubber which is a type of closed cell foam also known as ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber. Its an extremely durable synthetic rubber. It is an elastomer characterized by a wide range of applications.
EPDM foam is closed cell sponge material, which exhibits excellent resistance to weather ozone and oxidation as the foaming material contains a large number of air or other gases, is unfavourable and circulation, especially closed-cell foam material, has completely separated by independent bubble hole, material can obviously reduce of heat conduction has the very end of the coefficient of thermal conductivity combined with the material itself more flexible and good resilience.
Due to the superb air tight and water tight properties of EPDM Rubber Foam it is used within the automotive industry, electronic parts and construction work. It is also a very good material for jointing expansion and closure seals as well as shock absorbent. It foam is most demanded material to all over the world.
The greatest test of a construction material is to responds in actual conditions because of its properties EPDM chosen the best of among.
Some of The Properties of EPDM Rubber Foam:
- Closed cell structure making it impermeable to air and water and therefore an ideal material for sealing against air and water.
- Heat, Ozone and Weather Resistance.
- Resistance to corrosion, some of diluted acids etc.
- Aging properties and will not go brittle over time.
- Resistance to polar substances and steam are also good.
- Very durable and relatively cheap.
- Available in a wide range, high temperature, hard, soft, super soft.
- UV resistant and mechanical properties.
- Wide temperature range.
- Excellent electrical insulating properties.
EPDM rubber foam has gained industry wide acceptance which provides immediate and long term roofing solutions. It is a thermoset elastomer modified to various processes with their physical properties like high strength, UV stability even at lower temperature and can also withstand moisture and steam. EPDM is versatile and is suitable for number of requirements of the industry. EPDM is a very light rubber as compared to other categories of Rubber so the final product is long in length and more useful.
