EP(D)M

Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Rubber (EPR, EP(D)M)

EP(D)M elastomers are characterized by excellent aging and weathering resistance, good endurance to both high and low temperature. These properties confer to the vulcanized products outstanding, durable mechanical and elastic properties as well as a good resistance to a large variety of chemicals. Because of their structure, Dutral® K elastomers are typically used in a broad range of applications encompassing automotive whether strips, cables, hoses, polymers and oil viscosity modifiers.

LVE EP(D)M is produced by slurry polymerization process which allows the production of a wide variety of grades The slurry process does not require solvent nor solvent recovery equipment, improving its sustainability. Monomers are highly soluble in the reaction bulk, therefore high molecular weight polymers can be easily produced with this process; in order to facilitate high molecular weight EP(D)M transformation, a wide range of oil extended grades are made available, using traditional paraffinic oil or heavily purified white oil.
