chlorinated polyethylene

polymer

Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is a synthetic polymer created by introducing chlorine atoms into a polyethylene backbone, yielding a material with enhanced chemical resistance and flame retardancy compared to standard polyethylene. It is widely used in construction, automotive, and chemical processing industries where resistance to oils, ozone, and harsh environments is critical, and is often selected as a cost-effective alternative to specialty elastomers or PVC when flexibility combined with durability is required.

Safety & Biocompatibility

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
