Ethylene propylene rubber is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene (EPR) combined with a third comonomer adiene (EPDM). It is used as packing material. Ethylene propylene has excellent water resistance and it retains this property up to temperatures as high as approximately 120-140C. On a contrary, ethylene propylene rubber has poor resistance to mineral oil and fuel. Ethylene propylene rubber is classified under two different type including ethylene propylene monomer (EPM) and EPDM.
The growth of global ethylene propylene rubber market has been accelerated by increasing use of EPDM for plastic modification applications. It also finds wide range of applications in automotive weather-stripping and seals. In addition, ethylene propylene rubber is used as an additive in motor oils and used in the production of engine mounts, break parts and windshield wipers. However, raw material supply bottlenecks are expected to restrain the market growth in coming years. Nonetheless, increasing demand from automotive industry is expected to offer new opportunities for ethylene propylene rubber market in near future.
