Recycled EPDM Rubber

IN-LIFE 79-2 R20 by Interep is a black, closed-cell EPDM rubber foam containing 20% recycled material. The material is designed for applications requiring flexibility, compression resistance and durability.

The foam has a density of 110 ± 25 kg/m³ and a Shore 00 hardness of approximately 35. Its closed-cell structure limits water absorption, with a measured vacuum water absorption of 2.6%. According to the manufacturer, the material is non-staining and resistant to weathering, ozone exposure and ageing.

The rubber can withstand continuous temperatures from −40°C to +100°C, with short-term exposure up to +120°C. It meets the requirements of FMVSS 302 and ISO 3795 for flammability at thicknesses of at least 4 mm and is classified as HBF under UL 94 at thicknesses of at least 9 mm.

The material is supplied in blocks measuring 2,000 × 1,000 × 70 mm and can be processed into components of different shapes and thicknesses. Its combination of closed-cell structure, flexibility and compression properties makes it suitable for technical cushioning, sealing and vibration-damping applications, subject to application-specific requirements.
