Accelerators to Control Blooming in EPDM (Part 2)
‘Smartly’ use pre-mixed accelerator blends to control blooming Ethylene a-olefin elastomers, particularly ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) rubbers, are excellent all-purpose rubbers. Environmental factors such as oxygen, heat UV and ozone tend to degrade the rubbers. These factors cause free radicals to form which attach to the polymer chain and make the rubber harder. Antioxidants are added to […]
