Industrial Synthetic Method of the Rubbers

Abstract

This article reviews the histories, manufacturing method, worldwide producers, and polymerization technology for Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPDM) from industrial point of view. EPDM has over 50-years history. In this half a century, EPDM and its production process have been improved with the progress in catalyst technology. The catalyst technology influences on the production process and molecular structure of polymer.
