The market is fragmented based on application into automotive, building and construction, tires and tubes, wires and cables, lubricant additives, and others. The automotive segment is expected to grow at the highest rate, owing to the wide EPDM usage in the automotive industry. EPDM in the automotive industry is used for manufacturing radiator, brake parts, wipers, glass-run channel, body sealing, engine mounts, and roofing membrane along with making vehicle glazing systems, moisture barriers, O-rings, valves, and pumps. This wide range of EPDM applications in the automotive segment is expected to drive this segment over the forecast time period.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber that is used in various applications. EPDM is made from ethylene, propylene and a diene comonomer and is compatible with polar substances, such as fireproof hydraulic fluids, hot and cold water, ketones, and alkalis. EPDM is commonly used in vehicles for making window seals, door seals, trunk seals, and hood seals. EPDM has a high resistance to solvents, tearing, extreme temperatures, and abrasives. EPDM can be finished to a particularly smooth surface along with having excellent elasticity at extremely high and low temperatures. EPDM is used in various industries like building and construction, tires and tubes, plastic modification, automotive, lubricant additives, and wires and cables.
