Trenchlesspedia Explains EPDM Rubber
Getting a good seal can make all the difference. EPDM is used in roofing products, weatherstripping for doors and windows and all kinds of waterproofing products. If you want to keep cold air out of your house or automobile, or water out of your boat, EPDM rubber can do the trick.
The thermal and mechanical properties of EPDM rubber make it ideal for such applications. EPDM is resistant to heat and steam and works well as an electrical insulator.
