Understanding Chlorinated Polyethylene Structure
Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) is a modified polymer created by chlorinating high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The chlorine atoms bond to the polyethylene chains, increasing polarity and heat resistance. This structural change enhances flexibility, weatherability, chemical resistance, and compatibility with other materials—making CPE ideal for cable sheathing, hoses, and rubber blends. 1.
