Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) :


EPDM is the abbreviated name for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. In general industry, one may see

other abbreviations or trade names such as EPT, Nordel , ECD, or EPR. All of these are the same material
as EPDM.
EPDM is the standard seat material offered in the resilient seated DelTech butterfly valves. It is the most
universal and economical of seat materials.
