EP peroxides improve the heat stability, the modulus, the aging and the compression set of compounds. In addition the color of the compound will not revert during the cure and has less tendency to bloom. Peroxide cured EPDM is widely used in the rubber industry due to these enhanced properties.

Peroxide cured EPDM is very suitable for use in (Chloramine treated) drinking water, food and beverages (incl dairy products) applications.
