What is CPE-Chlorinated Polyethylene? What are the key characteristics?

Chlorinated polyethylene is the thermoplastic chlorinated polyethylene elastomer, which is produced by chlorination of polyethylene. Chlorinated polyethylene has a white and powder structure and is known for its harmless characteristics.

It is extremely resistant to weather conditions and can also operate at low temperatures. Chlorinated polyethylene can be mixed with rubbers and it is not flammable. Chlorinated polyethylene that is used for improving the resistance in PVC products, increases the flexibility and impact resistance of the products.

Chlorinated polyethylene, which provides fire-resistant products, also carries an electrical feature. This material, which is also resistant to chemical substances, is also compatible with large formulation inputs.

Thanks to its advantages, chlorinated polyethylene is widely used in many areas. It is also preferred since it is inexpensive. Since it is odorless and nontoxic, its chemical and physical performance increases.

Chlorinated polyethylene has a superior filling capacity and also retards the flame. It highly complies with polymer types such as PE, PVC, and ABS. It can be effortlessly used in many areas since it is easily handled.
