Impact Modifier CPE

Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) for rigid PVC impact modifier and ABS

Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) is a thermoplastic elastomer that is commonly used as an impact modifier for rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) polymers. As an impact modifier, CPE is added to these materials to improve their toughness, flexibility, and resistance to impact or shock. It helps to prevent cracking, breaking, or brittleness in the final products, making them more durable and able to withstand mechanical stresses. CPE is known for its excellent weather resistance, chemical resistance, and compatibility with PVC and ABS, making it a popular choice for applications that require enhanced impact strength, such as pipes, fittings, profiles, sheets, and various molded products.

Applications:

•         PVC Pipes and Fittings: CPE improves impact strength and toughness, preventing cracking and breaking in rigid PVC pipes and fittings.

•         Window Profiles and Frames: CPE enhances impact resistance and durability of rigid PVC window profiles and frames.

•         Vinyl Siding: CPE prevents cracking and damage from impacts in vinyl siding.

•         Automotive Parts: CPE enhances impact strength in ABS formulations for automotive parts like bumper covers and interior trim.

•         Electrical Conduit: CPE improves impact resistance and protects wiring in rigid PVC electrical conduit systems.

•         Industrial and Construction Applications: CPE-modified PVC and ABS are used for impact-resistant protective covers, equipment housings, and safety helmets.

•         Consumer Goods: CPE increases impact resistance and durability in toys, sporting equipment, and household appliances.
