THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES OF RUBBER
Chloronated Polyethylene (CPE)
The rubber: |
A chlorined polyethylene rubber.
|
Resistance and properties: |
Good chemical resistancy to fluid hydrocarbons at elevated temperatures. CPE is also resistant to many oxidising and corrosive chemicals.
|
Downsides: |
CPE has poor mechanical qualities at temperatures above + 100 degrees Celsius.
|
Applications: |
CPE is used in hose linings and thermoplastic applications, such as wire and cable jackets, rigid foam, fabric coatings and adhesive seals. |
