EPDM is a relatively common material in our daily life. It is generally used in runways, durable pipes, cable insulation layers, building waterproofing devices, rubber products, or automotive parts. Like our sports floor materials, in addition to runways, There are also indoor and outdoor rubber floor mats that will be mixed with some EPDM to enhance the performance of these floor materials. Since its gradual commercialization in 1963, EPDM has played an integral role in many important materials on the market.

1. Excellent elasticity. Why is it said that it will not affect its elasticity at low temperatures? Due to its molecular properties, the molecular cohesion is low, and the molecular chain can maintain sufficient stretch and flexibility, but it is lower than natural rubber and butadiene rubber. Because of its good elasticity.

2. Strong heat resistance. Neither water vapor nor hot water can affect the stability of EPDM. This is closely related to its vulcanization system. After the test stage, after soaking in water at 230 degrees Celsius for one month, the volume of EPDM only expanded by 0.3%. If materials such as silicone rubber, butyl rubber, fluorine rubber, and nitrile rubber are placed in superheated water vapor above 200 degrees, obvious changes will soon occur.

3. High filling property. EPDM is a low-density rubber material, about 0.87. We can increase the filler and mix it to reduce a certain production cost. Although it is mixed and filled, it does not affect the performance and function of the material at all.

4. Strong corrosion resistance. The saturation of EPDM is relatively low, resulting in weak polarity, so it will not be affected by some additives (oxidants, detergents, etc.), acids, and alkalis.



5. Anti-aging ability. According to international testing standards, we have achieved the effect of long-term use at a high temperature of 120 degrees. Of course, if anti-aging agents are added in the production, its characteristics will be more prominent.

6. Insulation electrical properties. In fact, many people will ignore that EPDM is also an insulator, and the insulation properties of materials such as polyethylene and chlorosulfonated polyethylene are not as good as it.

So why are rubber floor mats and track comfort better? Because it contains a certain amount of EPDM rubber, it is one of the best materials on the market in terms of foot feel and weather resistance. If you need to purchase from us, we will give you competitive prices and high-quality services in the international market!
