Natural Rubber replacement by ultra-high molecular weight EPDM

LANXESS at International Rubber Expo, Nashville, TN, USA

Keltan introduced at the International Rubber Expo the newly commercialized, ultra-high molecular weight EPDM grade Keltan® 9565Q, which LANXESS believes will successfully replace natural rubber in dynamic applications.

Alternative Curing Process for EPDM Rubber

LANXESS at Expobor 2014 in São Paulo, Brazil

Keltan presented at Expobor a new vulcanization system using phenolic resins, a process that provides the same benefits as vulcanization with peroxide, but with the advantage that the process can be carried out in contact with air.

Global Partnership

Enabling your growth

Keltan is the number one EP(D)M supplier in the world with production plants in all major sales regions. We are currently investing EUR 235 million in a new world-scale EP(D)M plant in Changzhou, China. After the start-up at the end of 2014 this will be the largest EP(D)M plant in the world.

Dynamic Grades

The ultra-dynamic grade

Keltan® 9565Q is heat-resistant and highly elastic, thanks to a particularly high molecular weight. Our all-new EP(D)M grade even beats natural rubber in terms of dynamic properties! That's great news for car manufacturers looking for next-generation engine mounting.

How to give joggers wings

Jogging is a wonderful sport. Unfortunately, it can put strain on joints and tendons. However, German inventor Helmut Fritzsche supplies air-cushioned shock-absorbing inserts for running shoes that are intended to provide effective protection against certain orthopedic problems. The "Fritzschis" are made from the highperformance EPDM rubber Keltan 9565Q.
