HERLENE® EPDM, a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and a non conjugated diene is one of the most versatile speciality elastomer in commercial use today. The main attributes of EPDM are its outstanding resistance to Oxidation, Ozone and the effects of weathering. It is also highly extendable, allowing high levels of fillers and plasticizers to be added while still maintaining good physical properties. HERLENE’s low specific gravity combined with its high extendability, makes it cost effective for the manufacture of wide range of rubber components.

HERLENE® EPDM has found wide use in applications that take advantage of its excellent ageing characteristic as well as its excellent low temperature flexibility, chemical resistance and electrical properties.

Wide range of HERLENE® EPDM grades are available, varying in Mooney Viscosity, Molecular weight distribution, ethylene/propylene ratio and cure rate. The Company has expertise to develop custom made grades suited to specific application & processing equipment of the Customer. The different types are designed for optimising performance in specific applications allowing the processor latitude in choosing the right polymer for their product and process. Examples of articles made from HERLENE® EPDM are : Automotive weather strips, tyre inner tubes, tyre flaps, tyre side walls, hoses, single ply roof membranes, wire and cable insulation, viscosity index improver application, conveyor belts & polymer modification.

The manufacture of HERLENE® EPDM is supported by in-process and finished product quality assurance testing procedures using state of art laboratory equipment’s.
