 products are said to optimize performance in applications where a single EPDM grade does not meet specified performance criteria. The key to this optimization is a polymerization polymerization

Any process in which monomers combine chemically to produce a polymer. The monomer molecules—which in the polymer usually number from at least 100 to many thousands—may or may not all be the same.
 technology that provides a unique microstructure mi·cro·struc·ture  
n.
The structure of an organism or object as revealed through microscopic examination.


microstructure
Noun

a structure on a microscopic scale, such as that of a metal or a cell
 within and between polymer chains, combining the concept of multiple grades of EPDM in one polymer, according to the company. Unique properties are said to enable RoyalEdge EPDM to meet opposing requirements, for example, low temperature with good green strength, good processing and excellent electricals, and superior physical properties with improved melt flow, according to the company. Applications include weatherseal, hose, and wire and cable. The company has also introduced Royalac 150 ultra accelerator that has been shown not to emit nitrosamines nitrosamines

highly hepatotoxic compounds formed in the rumen by the combination of amines and nitrite. They do not appear to occur naturally in large quantities. Nitrosamine poisoning has also been caused by feeding nitrite-treated fishmeal and Solanum incanum.
 during processing. Faster cure rates and improved scorch safety are said to help make Royalac 150 a cost-effective alternative to DPG DPG
