Ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) is an elastomer and has useful chemical and physical properties; it is resistant to heat, oxidation, ozone and the weather and it is also not susceptible to colour loss. Ethylene-propylene rubbers are valuable for their excellent resistance to heat, oxidation, ozone and weather aging due to their stable, saturated polymer backbone structure. Properly pigmented black and non-black compounds are color stable. As non polar elastomers, they have good electrical resistivity, as well as resistance to polar solvents, such as water, acids, alkalies, phosphate esters and many ketones and alcohols. Amorphous or low crystalline grades have excellent low temperature flexibility with glass transition points of about minus 60°C. Applications: Ethylene-propylene rubbers use the same chemical building blocks or monomers as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic polymers. These ethylene (C2) and propylene (C3) monomers are combined in a random manner to produce rubbery and stable polymers. A wide family of ethylene-propylene elastomers can be produced ranging from amorphous, non-crystalline to semi-crystalline structures depending on polymer composition and how the monomers are combined. Because ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) features excellent resistance to ozone, aging, chemicals & steam, excellent electrical insulation properties and cheap and easily available monomers, it is used for automotive parts, waterproofing membranes, wire and cable sheathings, heat-resistant hoses, belts, car seals, lubricant additives and polyolefins modification. Market Scenario:Ethylene-propylene elastomers are one of the most versatile, fastest growing and interesting synthetic rubber polymers. Excellent resistance to heat, oxidation, ozone and weather aging are expected to provide continued value in demanding automotive, construction, and mechanical goods applications. Current and emerging advanced polymerization and catalyst technologies also provide the ability to design polymers to meet application and processing needs that are important to meeting the ever-increasing demands for product quality, uniformity and performance.
