EPDM vs Other Rubber Types - Comparison Guide
EPDM vs General Purpose Rubber: EPDM offers superior weather and ozone resistance, making it ideal for outdoor applications where standard rubber would degrade.
EPDM vs SBR Rubber: While SBR is more economical, EPDM excels in UV stability and temperature extremes. Choose EPDM for roofing and outdoor exposure.
EPDM vs Nitrile Rubber: For oil and fuel resistance, choose nitrile rubber sheets. For weather resistance, EPDM is superior.
EPDM vs Neoprene: Neoprene offers better oil resistance, but EPDM provides better weather resistance and is more cost-effective for outdoor applications.
Temperature & Environment Applications
Our EPDM rubber sheet performs exceptionally across extreme temperature ranges:
- Cold Resistant Rubber Sheet: Maintains flexibility down to -40°C - perfect for freezer applications, cold storage seals, and arctic environments
- Heat Resistant Rubber Sheet: Stable up to +120°C - ideal for engine compartments, hot water systems, and high-temperature gaskets
- Extreme Temperature Rubber: The wide -40°C to +120°C range makes EPDM suitable for applications with dramatic temperature fluctuations

Frequently Asked Questions
Is EPDM rubber UV resistant?
Yes, EPDM has excellent UV resistance and won't degrade from sunlight exposure. Unlike natural rubber or SBR, EPDM maintains its properties for 20+ years outdoors, making it perfect for roofing membranes and outdoor sealing applications.
What thickness EPDM for flat roofing?
For domestic flat roofs, 3-5mm thickness is typically sufficient. Commercial applications should use 5-10mm thickness for enhanced durability and puncture resistance. For high-traffic roofs, consider 10mm+ thickness.
Can EPDM withstand chemicals?
EPDM resists most acids, alkalis, ketones, and polar solvents including brake fluid, phosphate esters, and diluted acids. However, it's not suitable for petroleum oils, gasoline, or hydrocarbon fuels - use nitrile rubber for those applications.
How do I cut EPDM rubber sheet?
Use a sharp utility knife with a fresh blade and a metal straight edge. Score the rubber multiple times along your cutting line rather than attempting to cut through in one pass. For thicker sheets (10mm+), you may need to score from both sides for clean edges.
What's the lifespan of EPDM rubber?
When properly installed, EPDM rubber can last 20-50 years in outdoor applications with minimal degradation. Its resistance to UV, ozone, and weathering ensures long-term performance without cracking or deterioration.
What is Shore A hardness and why does it matter?
Shore A measures rubber hardness. Our 60 Shore A EPDM is medium hardness - firm enough for structural integrity but flexible enough to conform to surfaces and create effective seals. This makes it ideal for gaskets and sealing applications.
Is EPDM rubber suitable for pond liners?
Yes, EPDM is excellent for pond liners. It's fish-safe, UV resistant, and flexible enough to conform to pond shapes. Use 2-3mm thickness for small garden ponds, 5mm+ for larger installations.
Can I use EPDM rubber sheet for automotive applications?
Absolutely. EPDM is widely used in automotive weatherstripping, door seals, and window seals due to its weather resistance. However, avoid contact with engine oils - use nitrile rubber for oil-exposed areas.
Alternative Product Codes & Cross-References
Our EPDM rubber sheet series (SKU: RBRMTDR3211-3220) is compatible with and can replace many industry-standard EPDM specifications. If you're looking for alternatives to competitor products or need to match specific part numbers, contact our technical team for cross-reference assistance.
Environmental Sustainability
EPDM is a synthetic rubber with lower environmental impact than petroleum-based alternatives. It's derived from ethylene, propylene, and natural gas feedstocks. EPDM is fully recyclable at end-of-life, and its exceptional longevity (20-50 years) reduces replacement frequency and waste.
Winter 2026 Special - Roofing Season
January-March 2026: Perfect timing for winter roofing repairs and spring preparation. EPDM rubber sheet remains flexible even in cold weather, making it ideal for winter installation. Prepare your flat roof for spring rains with our weather-resistant EPDM membrane.
