Specialty Elastomers (EPDM & NBR)
High-performance rubbers engineered for superior heat, oil, and chemical resistance in demanding applications.
Overview
Specialty Elastomers such as EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) and NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) are engineered for demanding environments where resistance to heat, weather, oils, and chemicals is critical.
These high-performance materials are widely used in automotive components, seals, hoses, gaskets, and industrial systems requiring long-term durability and flexibility.
EPDM is known for its exceptional weathering and ozone resistance, while NBR offers excellent oil and fuel resistance — making both essential in a variety of industrial and automotive applications.
