With a lower carbon footprint, superior performance and quality finish, Dow’s bio-based POE gives automakers an enhanced sustainability profile that makes them stand out from the rest.
EPDM is a high-performance material used in weather seals, hoses and belts.
Dow’s NORDEL™ EPDM, produced with Advanced Molecular Catalyst technology, has a significantly lower environmental impact than Ziegler-Natta solution EPDM.
Compared to Ziegler-Natta Solution EPDM , NORDEL™ EPDM contributes1:

Low-emission public transport like shared bicycles are becoming increasingly popular as more people become environmentally conscious.
While shared bikes provide riders with the flexibility to travel short distances, they need to have a higher level of durability and more low-maintenance parts compared to traditional bikes.
Dow’s POE, EPDM and OBC materials help to create tubeless foam bike tire inserts that have:
Great toughness and elasticity
Good heat resistance
20-30% less weight compared to traditional tires
