Mykin Inc
RE00170 SULFUR-CURED EPDM COMPOUND
GENERAL PROPERTIES
Mykin Incs Sulfur-Cured EPDM Compound Systems have a temperature use range of -65F to
+300F. Sulfur-Cured EPDM is the least costly and provides better tear and abrasion resistance
compared to Peroxide-Cured Systems. EPDM Compounds are frequently used with foods, water,
steam and phosphate ester fluids (Skydrol) applications and offer the excellent resistance to brake
fluids (glycol base), weather, and ozone.
EPDMs are not used with petroleum oils or fuels because significant swelling would result.
