KELTAN® 8550

KELTAN® 8550 by Arlanxeo is a general purpose ethylene propylene diene (EPDM) terpolymer. It has a controlled long chain branching narrow molecular weight distribution. It can be cured with peroxide, sulfur and accelerators. Possesses the ability to accept high filler loadings. Shows fast and efficient mixing with additives. Exhibits low temperature flexibility, good electrical insulation properties, good vulcanizate physical properties such as stress-strain behavior & compression set. Provides very good resistance to heat, chemicals, oxidation, ozone and weathering. Offers better aging resistance than natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and butadiene rubber. Can be processed by extrusion and calendering. Possible applications of KELTAN® 8550 could be automotive, plastics modification, technical rubber goods, building and electrical industry.
