Keltan® Eco compared to conventional EPDM

Keltan® Eco uses ethylene based on sugar cane. Ethanol derived from this basic material is dehydrated into ethylene and polymerized to produce EPDM.

Keltan® Eco
•    Contains up to 70 percent ethylene from sugar cane
•    Reduces the carbon footprint
•    Improves the energy balance
•    Takes us one more step towards becoming independent of oil

No compromise on quality
With Keltan® Eco, you get the high EPDM quality you are accustomed to from our Keltan®.  Each of your final products can go green. Right away from zero to between 15 and 25 percent, depending on how high the percentage of totally natural ethylene from sugar cane in the EPDM grade is, and on the quantity of Keltan® Eco in the final product. What's more, it can easily be verified and certified by us: the carbon in Keltan® Eco coming from sugar cane can be traced back, as proven by measuring isotope C-14 according to the ASTM D6866 testing standard.
