High-performance EPDMs with lower environmental impact

In the drive for a more sustainable future, global industry is seeking a new generation of elastomers with lower environmental impacts. Our new range of EPDM elastomers marks a step change in sustainability. They enable the creation of final components with up to a 55 percent reduction in product carbon footprint, yet with no compromise on performance compared to traditional EPDM elastomers.

Available as O-Rings and engineered molded parts for a wide array of industry applications, they offer reductions in carbon footprint of the compound of up to 61 percent and a reduction in product carbon footprint (PCF) of up to 55 percent.*

Technical questions and answers

  • Do Reduced Carbon Footprint EPDMs compromise performance?
    No, these elastomers provide equivalent application performance characteristics to traditional EPDMs.
  • What renewable feedstocks are used in Reduced Carbon Footprint EPDM elastomers?
    We use bio-circular feedstocks derived from renewable inputs like used cooking oil, forestry residue and tall oil. Also included are recycled fillers from end-of-life tires.
  • How do these elastomers lower a product carbon footprint?
    Through substitution of fossil-based raw materials with bio-circular and recycled feedstocks, these advanced solutions significantly decrease product carbon footprint.
  • Where are Reduced Carbon Footprint EPDM elastomers used?
    Reduced Carbon Footprint EPDM elastomers are used in sealing applications across industries such as automotive, energy, water management and industrial manufacturing, where durability and environmental performance are both essential.
