What are the properties of chlorinated polyethylene

Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is a kind of full macromolecule material with white powder appearance. It is non-toxic and tasteless. It has excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, chemical resistance and aging resistance. It has outstanding oil resistance, flame retardancy and coloring function. You have a simple knowledge of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), so let“s understand the basic uses of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE).

Domestic demand for high-functional flame retardant rubber is increasing, especially the development of wire and cable industry and automotive parts manufacturing industry, which has driven the consumption demand for rubber CPE. Rubber CPE is a kind of special synthetic rubber with excellent comprehensive function, heat resistance, ozone aging resistance and good flame retardancy.

Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) resin is a new synthetic material with a series of excellent functions. It is an excellent impact modifier for PVC plastics and an excellent synthetic rubber with comprehensive functions. It has a wide range of applications. It has been widely used in cables, wires, hoses, rubber and plastic products, sealing materials, flame retardant conveyor belts, waterproof rolls, films and various profiles. CPE can also be blended with polypropylene, high and low pressure polyethylene and ABS to improve the flame retardant function, aging resistance and printing function of these plastics. CPE can be regarded as a random copolymer of ethylene, polyethylene and 1.2-dichloroethylene. It has full molecular chains and random distribution of polar chlorine atoms. Because of its excellent physical and chemical functions, CPE is widely used in machinery, power, chemical industry, building materials and mining industry. CPE is superior to most rubber in heat resistance, ozone resistance, weathering resistance, aging resistance, oil resistance, aging resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, salt resistance, non-toxic, non-flammable and non-explosive hazard.
The main applications are: wire and cable, hydraulic hose, automotive hose, tape, plywood, PVC pipe modification, magnetic material, ABS modification and so on.
