The EPDM line is part of the portfolio of the Technical Rubber Products (TRP) business unit. To take advantage of synergies, sales and technical service for EPDM will continue to be managed together with the other products of the TRP business unit.

The TRP business unit is one of the main global suppliers of synthetic rubber for the rubber processing industry. The products are used to produce functional components for the automotive, gas/oil exploration and production and mechanical, construction and cable engineering industries. They are also used as modifiers for plastics and as raw materials for adhesives.

"EPDM is an important element of our core business. This new focus will help us meet customer demand more quickly, respond more speedily and expand our position as a major global supplier of technical rubber," explains Dr. Günther Weymans, the head of LANXESS’s Technical Rubber business unit. "These measures also increase cost transparency, thus making cost monitoring more efficient."

Buna* EP ethylene-propylene[-diene] rubber (EP[D]M), has been the only rubber material to qualify for the discipline of sealing the roof of the soccer stadium in Tianjin for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. It impresses with its outstanding resistance to weathering, ozone and aging and its good dimensional stability even in the face of strong fluctuations in temperature. Other fields of use are hoses, extruded profiles, including dense automotive class A profiles, and injection molded goods.
