ETHYLENE PROPYLENE (EP)

EP elastomers provide excellent resistance to heat, water, steam, ozone and sunlight (color stability) while providing very good low temperature flex properties. These compounds also withstand the affects of brake fluids, alkali, mild acidic and oxygenated solvent environments. EP compounds are not recommended for gasoline, petroleum oil and greases, and hydrocarbon solvent environments.

EPs are very effective for outdoor functions requiring a resistive weathering nature. Hot water and steam environments are also ideal for these compounds. EPs are especially suited to high temperature brake fluid applications.
