Discover the sustainable ingredients of our GEZOFLEX eco EPDM granules

Sulfur creates links between the single hydrocarbon chains of the EPDM and thus ensures the stable cross-linking of an EPDM granule. This cross-linking results in a stable, resistant and very elastic product.
GEZOFLEX eco only uses a premium oil that is 99% bio-based and has a negative CO2 balance. However, it makes no compromises in terms of performance or technical properties.
For GEZOFLEX eco, only EPDM rubber is used, which contains a clearly defined proportion of certified bio-based raw materials. This proportion is ensured by a certified mass balance procedure.
GEZOFLEX eco uses an innovative, renewable filler that is biogenic and bio-based.
By adding color pigments and color master batches a fully dyeing of EPDM granules is achieved. The dyes are organic or inorganic, depending on the color.
Depending on the requirements for certain properties, such as UV stabilization or fire-retardant properties, these substances are added.
