Product Description
Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) CAS 64754-90-1 is a chlorinated polymer material supplied as a modifier rather than a single small-molecule chemical.
Synonyms: CPE; Polyethylene, Chlorinated; Ethene, Homopolymer, Chlorinated; Chlorinated Ethylene Resin.
CAS: 64754-90-1.
It does not have a single molecular formula because it is a chlorinated polyethylene polymer family.
Performance depends on grade and formulation, including chlorine content, molecular weight, viscosity, and particle form.
It is supplied as a polymer additive or modifier.
It is positioned as an impact modifier, elastomeric modifier, and specialty polymer additive.
It is used in rigid PVC products such as profiles, pipes, fittings, sheets, and boards.
It is used in cable compounds and rubber or elastomer blends.
It is used in hoses, belts, waterproof membranes, and selected construction polymer systems.
Chlorine content affects polarity, compatibility, flexibility, flame retardance, and processability.
Many PVC impact-modifier grades are supplied around 35% chlorine, while the broader CPE range is commonly about 34-44%.
Confirm the required grade, chlorine content, volatile matter, ash, sieve residue, bulk density, Mooney viscosity, tensile strength, Shore hardness, and thermal stability.
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Use suitable PPE when handling the material to prevent dust exposure and skin or eye contact.
Confirm packaging suitable for the solid form and order quantity, and follow the current SDS.
Confirm grade, packaging, and specification as required.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What is Chlorinated Polyethylene CAS 64754-90-1?
A: Chlorinated Polyethylene, commonly abbreviated CPE, is a chlorinated polymer made by replacing some hydrogen atoms in polyethylene with chlorine. It is supplied as a polymer additive or modifier rather than as a single small-molecule chemical, so its performance depends on grade and formulation. -
Q:
Why can Chlorinated Polyethylene not be selected by CAS number alone?
A: CAS 64754-90-1 identifies the chlorinated polyethylene polymer family, but it does not define chlorine content, molecular weight, viscosity, particle form, or application grade. Two CPE products with the same CAS number can have very different processing and mechanical behavior, so grade selection is essential. -
Q:
What does chlorine content mean for CPE performance?
A: Chlorine content affects polarity, compatibility, flexibility, flame retardance, and processability. Many PVC impact-modifier grades are supplied around 35% chlorine, while the broader CPE range is commonly described as about 34-44%. The correct level should match the target polymer system and performance requirements. -
Q:
What are the main applications of Chlorinated Polyethylene?
A: CPE is widely used as an impact modifier in rigid PVC products such as profiles, pipes, fittings, sheets, and boards. It is also used in cable compounds, rubber and elastomer blends, hoses, belts, waterproof membranes, and selected construction polymer systems. -
Q:
What is the difference between CPE 135A and CPE 135B?
A: CPE 135A and CPE 135B are commercial grade designations rather than different chemical identities. They typically differ in processing behavior, hardness, tensile properties, and end-use suitability, so the choice depends on whether the buyer needs an impact modifier, a rubber modifier, or a compound with specific processing requirements. -
Q:
Which specification values are most important for industrial CPE sourcing?
A: The key values depend on the application, but commonly reviewed items include chlorine content, volatile matter, ash, sieve residue, bulk density, Mooney viscosity, tensile strength, Shore hardness, and thermal stability. These parameters should be compared against the buyer's processing equipment and target compound performance.
