Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)
Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM) Innovation
Dow’s advanced EPDM technology offers exceptional durability and processability for high-performance applications. As Dow’s premium EPDM offering, NORDEL™ EPDM products are engineered to withstand extreme conditions while supporting or helping enable design flexibility. For more sustainable performance, NORDEL™ REN delivers the same trusted quality with a bio-circular feedstock, helping reduce carbon footprint without compromising functionality.
NORDEL™ EPDM products feature the widest range of ethylene content available in the industry. Available in both bale and free-flowing pellet forms, this portfolio is progressively expanding with new products tailored to address specific customer and industry needs.
NORDEL™ EPDM
These high-quality, virtually gel-free polymers - including ultra-high-molecular-weight and oil-extended grades - are an excellent choice for a long list of automotive, construction, consumer and other applications.
Technology to tailor your advantage
NORDEL™ EPDM is made with Dow’s proprietary AMC™ technology, helping enable precise control over polymer structure. This results in ultra-clean materials with customizable molecular weight, ethylene and diene content, and Mooney viscosity. It also supports fast mixing and curing, improved filler dispersion, and reduced scrap — delivering reliable performance and processing efficiency across demanding applications.
Helps customers reduce upstream emissions with a lower-carbon material choice — contributing to broader sustainability and climate goals.
Formulated using bio-circular feedstocks derived from waste and residue sources, minimizing reliance on fossil fuels.
Engineered to perform identically to traditional NORDEL™ EPDM - no requalification or reformulation required.
Sourced from materials that do not compete with the food chain, supporting responsible resource use.
Raw materials originate from certified sustainable forestry and farming operations.
Backed by ISCC+ certification, ensuring traceability and sustainability across the value chain.
Weather Seals
NORDEL™ EPDM offers excellent elasticity, UV resistance, and long-term durability – a good choice for automotive weather seals that demand tight tolerance and environmental resilience.
Powertrain Systems
Designed to handle heat, oil, and mechanical stress, NORDEL™ EPDM provides durable sealing and gasketing performance.
Wire & Cable
NORDEL™ EPDM is well-suited for insulation and jacketing compounds, offering reliable flexibility and dielectric properties with a reduced carbon footprint.
