Before getting to know about EPDM Rubber, let's have a look upon Rubber. When the word rubber comes to mind we probably think of tyres, rubber bands, gloves, erasers etc. But the actual range of applications and products can blow up our minds. It is been widely used in the manufacturing of thousands of products and the areas of application spans around the whole world from home/ kitchen utensils to defence, construction to outer space, toys to automotive, agriculture to shipping etc. Where ever you go, you will be able to see and feel it, but in different forms.
We can classify Rubber into two types
Natural Rubber
Synthetic Rubber.
As the name indicates, the Natural Rubber is made from the white milky liquid called Latex that comes from a tree species called Hevea brasiliens, often known as Rubber tree.
And synthetic rubbers are made in chemical plants by synthesizing from petroleum by-products and other minerals. It is basically an artificial polymer which has the property of undergoing elastic stretch ability or deformation under stress and can return to its previous form without permanent deformation.
