Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is a versatile elastomer and polymer modifier well suited for both thermoset and thermoplastic applications requiring excellent weathering, oxidation, and heat resistance. Its balanced physical properties allow CPE to perform reliably across a wide range of demanding environments.
CPE is commonly used in the production of wire and cable sheathing, tubing, weatherstripping, conveyor belts, and liquid-proof seals for automotive, industrial, and electrical applications.
Performance Characteristics:
Chlorine Content:
Higher chlorine grades provide superior oil resistance, chemical resistance, and flame retardancy.
Lower chlorine grades offer enhanced low-temperature flexibility and impact performance.
Viscosity:
Higher viscosity grades deliver improved mechanical strength.
Lower viscosity grades offer better processability and flow in extrusion and molding operations.
CPE’s unique combination of flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance makes it a valuable material for a wide range of engineered products and compounding applications.
