There are so many industrial uses due to properties of EPDM rubber, and it has become a common choice for components that would be exposed outdoors to wind, rain, UV rays, and other external factors.

 

• Construction – In construction industries, EPDM are favorite choices as roofing membranes and come in different widths and thicknesses.

• Automotive – In the automotive industry, you can see this polymer being used generously for various purposes, including as sealants, harnesses for wires and cables, seals, bumpers, and even in brake systems. Most wiper blades are also made of EPDM rubber.

• Manufacturing industries – Manufacturing industries use various Arvico Rubber’s components like diaphragms, O-Rings, seals, valves, and gaskets. They choose these components in EPDM rubber because of their favorable properties. 

• HVAC – The Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning industry also uses EPDM rubber to make its gaskets, seals, insulation parts, PTFE, sleeves or seat rings, rubber stators, hoses and tubing. This material is preferred for its weather-resistance properties.

 

• Other uses – Other than the above industries, EPDM may be used for a variety of other applications, including the following.

  • As insulators for electrical wires and applications

  • As an elastic element in straps, hangers, tie-downs, and cords

  • As solar panel elements to collect heatIn vibrators and belts to reduce noise

  • EPDM granules are mixed with flooring agents to add grip and stability while walking
