Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) is a type of plastic that is produced by the chlorination of polyethylene. It is a thermoplastic elastomer that is used in a variety of applications, including wire and cable insulation, automotive parts, and medical devices. CPE is known for its excellent electrical properties, chemical resistance, and low-temperature flexibility. It is also highly resistant to weathering, making it an ideal material for outdoor applications. CPE is also used in the production of adhesives, sealants, and coatings. CPE is a cost-effective alternative to other types of plastics, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is also more environmentally friendly than PVC, as it does not contain any hazardous chemicals. Some companies in the CPE market include Dow Chemical, ExxonMobil, BASF, and Eastman Chemical. Show Less Read more
