The Custom EPDM Molding Experts
Molded EPDM Rubber
EPDM molding is a durable and cost-effective solution ideal for outdoor and automotive applications due to its superior resistance to ozone, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. Whether produced via injection or compression methods, this synthetic rubber delivers excellent heat resistance, color stability, and a clean finish, serving as a reliable, high-performance alternative to neoprene.
EPDM Rubber Injection Molding
EPDM rubber injection molding is especially valued in the automotive and industrial sectors for its longevity and performance in harsh environments. EPDM also mimics the mechanical properties of both natural and synthetic rubber, while offering greater durability and lower cost compared to silicone.
Applications Best Suited For EPDM
However, EPDM is not suited for applications involving petroleum-based substances, solvents, or continuous exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons. It’s also not recommended for food contact or electrical insulation use.
With its versatility and resilience, EPDM remains a go-to material for roofing, HVAC, and a wide range of industrial applications—delivering long-lasting performance and reduced replacement costs.
