Expanding Applications: From EPDM Elastomers to High-Impact Poly-DCPD
Beyond resins, DCPD plays a critical role in the manufacture of EPDM elastomers—valued for weather resistance and flexibility in automotive seals, hoses, and gaskets. DCPD also underpins innovations in cyclic olefin copolymers and poly-DCPD (PDCPD), which offer exceptional impact resistance and thermal stability ideal for rugged automotive and industrial components.
