Abstract To improve the anti-ablative property of EPDM-based composites, nano-graphite powder as anti-ablation filler was introduced to optimize the EPDM insulation material formulas. Characterization of anti-ablation performance showed that the composite at the nano-graphite content of 10phr exhibited the best anti-ablation and mechanical performances, such as: a linear ablation rate of 0.062 mm/s, a mass ablation rate of 0.048 g/s, tensile strength of 5.69 MPa and Elongation at break of 391.2%. The nano-graphite was proven to be an effective material which is beneficial to improve the anti-ablation of the EPDM composites.
