Why is EPDM coated with talc?

This is a release agent that is applied to the uncured EPDM during manufacture and just prior to vulcanization. After vulcanization, the roll is unrolled prior to final packaging and shipping. If the release agent were not applied, during vulcanization the roll would become one very long and large “tootsie roll”, and would be unsuitable for use in roofing.
