CEH: Chlorinated Polyethylene Resins & Elastomers

Mar 2021. Chlorinated polyethylene resins and elastomers (CPEs) exhibit excellent physical and mechanical properties, including resistance to chemicals, oils, heat, and weathering; low-temperature performance; compression-set resistance; flame retardancy; high filler acceptance; tensile strength; and resistance to abrasion. In addition, CPE polymers can range from crystalline or rigid resins to a flexible elastomer product, making them highly versatile products. These polymers are used as the major or minor component in a wide assortment of applications in industry. The largest application for CPE is as an impact modifier. Other important end-use applications for CPE include roofing membranes, wire and cable jacketing, geomembranes, automotive and industrial hose and tubing, coatings, molded shapes, extruded profiles, and use as a base polymer. In 2020, mainland China was the dominant CPE consumer, accounting for nearly 72% of demand, followed by Other Asia (excluding Japan), the United States, and Europe. Mainland Chinese consumption is forecast to grow at 4.2% per year during 2020–25.
