Introduction to Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)

Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is a saturated polymer material with a white powder appearance and no odor. It has excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, chemical resistance, aging resistance, as well as good oil resistance, flame retardancy, and coloring properties. Good toughness (still elastic at - 30 ℃), good compatibility with other polymer materials, high decomposition temperature, decomposition to produce HCl, which can catalyze the dechlorination of chlorinated polyethylene. In addition to being used alone, thermoplastic resins can also be blended with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), ABS, and even polyurethane (PU).

Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is a polymer material prepared by chlorination substitution reaction reaction of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). According to different structures and uses, chlorinated polyethylene can be divided into resin chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and elastic chlorinated polyethylene (CM).

In the rubber industry, chlorinated polyethylene can be used as a high-performance, high-quality special rubber, and can also be blended with ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), butyl rubber (IIR), nitrile rubber (NBR), chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM), and other rubbers.

Main Uses In the late 1990s, the domestic demand for high-performance flame-retardant rubber continued to increase, especially the development of the wire and cable industry and the automotive parts manufacturing industry, driving the consumer demand for rubber chlorinated polyethylene. Rubber CPE is a special synthetic rubber with excellent comprehensive performance, heat resistance to oxygen ozone aging, and good flame retardancy.

Mainly used for: wire and cable (coal mine cable, UL and VDE standards), hydraulic hose, vehicle hose, adhesive tape, rubber plate, PVC shaped pipe modification, magnetic material, ABS modification, etc.
