Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM)
Product Overview — NORDEL™ EPDM
Dow’s NORDEL™ EPDM is one of the most widely used EPDM materials in the market.
It is produced via solution polymerization using Dow’s advanced AMC catalyst technology, with ethylidene norbornene (ENB) as the third monomer to provide excellent physical performance.
