EPDM Rubber vs. RPU
EPDM rubber belongs to the thermoset elastomers (rubber) classification, while RPU belongs to the thermoset plastics. There are 9 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (13, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is EPDM rubber and the bottom bar is RPU.
