EPDM rubber
With more than 55 years of leadership in EPDM technology, we offer expertise in both metallocene- and Ziegler-Natta-based EPDM processes and continue to meet changing application needs globally.
Our investment in increasing capacity and developing new grades delivers the long-term supply reliability our customers depend on.
ExxonMobil Chemical’s broad range of Vistalon™ ethylene propylene diene polymethylene backbone (EPDM) rubber grades are used in a wide variety of applications in the automotive, consumer and industrial sectors. They deliver heat-resistant part performance and processing benefits that exceed those provided by natural and general-purpose rubbers.
