EPDM Rubber Production Costs - Q2 2023
EPDM Rubber Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
EPDM Rubber (a.k.a. Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubber) is an organic compound, in the (ter)polymer/elastomer class. It is derived from ethylene, propylene, and small amounts of a nonconjugated diene as third monomer. Having a completely saturated polymer backbone, this random elastomeric copolymer combines interesting features including excellent weathering stability and heat resistance, good insulating properties and good resistance to chemicals, moisture and steam. EPDM has excellent ozone resistance, in comparison with natural rubber and its synthetic substitutes, such as SBR (styrene–butadiene rubber), BR (butadiene rubber) and IR (isoprene rubber). These features make EPDM a versatile synthetic rubber, with several applications in the automotive industry, in the construction industry and as a plastic modifier.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining EPDM Rubber production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
Ethylene Propylene Rubber Production
This report analyses the economics of Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubber (EPDM rubber) production from ethylene and propylene in the United States, via a suspension polymerization process using Ziegler-Natta catalyst. Ethylidene norbornene is also used as termonomer to allow vulcanization of the polymer.
