Rubber

EPDM rubber consists of ethylene and propylene copolymers that develop long saturated molecular chains capable of making the compound suitable for contact with many fluids of different nature. By adding a third monomer, Diene Monomer, EPDM rubber is obtained to the compound, which has shorter molecular chains than saturated rubber; this adds to the characteristics of the starting copolymer a good resistance to radiation. The rubber EPDM stretches up to 300% and can be stretched in all directions at the same time (multiaxial response) and is not subject to breakage due to tension.
