EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber
EPDM rubber is a copolymer of ethylene, propylene and a small amount of the third monomer non-conjugated diene. The international name is: Ethyiene Propyene Diene Methyiene, or EPDM for short. EPDM rubber has excellent UV resistance, weather resistance, heat aging resistance, low temperature resistance, ozone resistance, chemical resistance, water resistance, good electrical insulation and elasticity, and other physical and mechanical properties. These advantages cannot be replaced by many other materials.
1. Weather resistance has the ability to withstand severe cold, heat, dryness and humidity for a long time, and has excellent corrosion resistance against the erosion of snow and water, which can completely extend the service life of doors, windows and curtain walls.
2. Heat aging resistance means that it has strong resistance to hot air aging. It can be used at -40~120℃ for a long time. It can also maintain effective characteristics for a long time at 140~150℃. It can withstand high temperatures of 230~260℃ in a short period of time. It can play a role in urban building outbursts. Delay effect; coupled with the use of a special formula, EPDM rubber has a similar feel from -50°C to 15°C. This production site installation has created high-efficiency results.
3. Because EPDM has excellent ozone resistance, it is also known as "crack-free rubber". It is especially used in various urban buildings with different atmospheric indexes and is completely exposed to the air. It will also show its product superiority.
4. Resistance to ultraviolet radiation provides environmental protection for users of high-rise buildings; it can withstand 60 to 150Kv voltage, and has excellent corona resistance, electric crack resistance, and arc resistance. Low temperature elasticity, the temperature when the tensile capacity reaches 100MPa is -58.8℃.
5. Due to its excellent special mechanical properties, it is often used in the manufacture of aircraft, cars, trains, buses, ships, high and low voltage switch cabinets, glass curtain walls, aluminum alloy thermal insulation window sealing parts and diving products, high-pressure steam soft Pipes, tunnels, viaduct joints and other waterproof parts and other industrial and agricultural sealing parts.

3. TPV/TPE thermoplastic elastomer
Thermoplastic elastomer has the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber and the processability of soft plastics. It's somewhere between plastic and rubber. In terms of processing, it is a kind of plastic; in terms of properties, it is a kind of rubber. Thermoplastic elastomers have many advantages over thermoset rubbers.
1. The lower density of thermoplastic elastomer (0.9~1.1g/cm3), thus saving costs.
2. Lower compression deformation and excellent bending fatigue resistance.
3. It can be thermally welded to improve assembly flexibility and sealing.
4. The waste materials (escaping burrs, extrusion waste materials) and final waste products generated during the production process can be directly returned for reuse, reducing environmental pollution and expanding resource recycling sources. It is an ideal green and environmentally friendly material.
