Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is a synthetic polymer created by chlorinating polyethylene, which enhances its properties. This material is known for its excellent resistance to chemicals, weather, and UV radiation, making it suitable for various applications, including coatings, seals, and gaskets. CPE is often used in the automotive and construction industries due to its durability and flexibility. It can be blended with other materials to improve performance, and its versatility allows it to be used in products like cables and roofing membranes, contributing to its popularity in manufacturing.
