Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)
EPDM is helping drive better rubber pellets with more sustainability solutions
Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM) materials from Dow help produce more rugged yet sustainable rubbers. Designed to excel in the harshest environments, EPDM is resilient against high temperatures and abrasive chemicals, offering uncompromising durability, no matter the application.
EPDM is a tough material, but it's easy to customize. With Dow's innovative AMC technology, our industrial EPDM products are remarkably robust and user-friendly. Our gel-free polymers also make working with EPDM cleaner and more efficient, enabling more streamlined and sustainable manufacturing solutions.
NORDEL™ EPDM products feature the widest range of ethylene content available in the industry. Available in both bale and free-flowing pellet forms, this portfolio is progressively expanding with new products tailored to meet specific customer and industry needs.
NORDEL™ EPDM
These high-quality, virtually gel-free polymers - including ultra-high-molecular-weight and oil-extended grades - are an excellent choice for a long list of automotive, construction, consumer and other applications.
Technology to tailor your advantage
Our EPDM polymer is made using proprietary, advanced molecular catalyst (AMC) technology in a solution process, which allows it to do some amazing things. AMC technology enables the tailored design of EPDM molecular architecture, including balanced processing and physical properties. Key benefits of this exclusive technology include:
-
