EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. It's a type of synthetic rubber commonly used in various applications due to its excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, UV exposure, and temperature extremes. This includes flexible connectors, water gaskets, O-rings, grommets, and a variety of automotive parts, as well as many other outdoor applications. It is also better for use in roofing, waterproofing, and sealing applications.
