Foamed ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) was compounded with azo dicarbonamide (ADC/K) as a foaming agent. The mechanical properties, under compression and extension, were measured at different temperatures. It was found that the increase of foaming agent concentration affects markedly all the mechanical parameters. The increase in the foaming agent concentration decreases monotonically the tensile strength, σf , and failure strain εf.
