Open-cell foam of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber

Abstract

Open-cell foam of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber that can convert to open-cell foams at the foaming of EPDM, rather than after the foaming of the same, and can produce low impact resiliency and improved filling capability. After 0.1-40 parts by weight of organic foaming agent, 2-40 parts by weight of inorganic foaming agent, and 2-40 parts by weight of foam auxiliary agent per 100 parts by weight of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber are mixed, the mixture is vulcanized and foamed to thereby produce open-cell foam of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber. This open-cell foam of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber has low impact resilience and good sealing performance so that it can be used as sealing materials of a variety of industrial products.
