Introduction to Hypalon Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene

Chlorinated elastomer Hypalon (chlorosulfonated polyethylene bai)
When exposed to high temperature oxidative chemicals, Hypalon exhibits its true strength. It is resistant to bending and cracking, wear-resistant, weather resistant, UV/ozone resistant, heat-resistant, and resistant to chemicals. It is easy to dye and has a stable color with low water absorption, making it widely used as a sheath and insulation layer for wires and cables, a waterproof layer for roofs, rubber hoses for automobiles and industries, and synchronous substitutes. Equally important, Hypalon exhibits a long lifespan in harsh environments, as evidenced by the lifespan of liners and movable covers on drinking water, sewage tanks, and other containers.
Chlorosulfonated polyethylene is a saturated elastomer with polyethylene as the main chain, with an average molecular weight of 30000 to 120000. Among them, CSM2910 is 30000, CSM4010 is 40000, CSM3304 is 120000, C, and SM2305 is 100000. Chlorosulfonated polyethylene is a white or milky white flake or granular solid with a relative density of 1.07-1.28. Mooney viscosity ranges from 30 to 90. Brittle temperature ranges from 56 to 40 ℃. The chemical structure of CSM is completely saturated, with excellent ozone resistance, weather resistance, heat resistance, flame retardancy, water resistance, chemical resistance, oil resistance, wear resistance, etc. The solubility parameter of CSM is δ=8.9, which is soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons. It only swells in ketones, esters, and ethers and does not dissolve;, Insoluble in fatty hydrocarbons and alcohols.



Introduction Editor

The alias of chlorosulfonated polyethylene, also known as Haibolong or Haibaolong.

English name: hypalon

Production method

It is formed by the interaction of chlorine and carbon disulfide with polyethylene (with a number average molecular weight of about 20000), usually using a solution method. CSM was invented and industrialized by DuPont under the trade name Hypalon.

Product Features

It is a white or yellow elastomer with the commonality of raw rubber and its own unique properties. It can dissolve in aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons, but is insoluble in fats and alcohols. It can only swell and cannot dissolve in ketones and ethers. It has excellent ozone resistance, atmospheric aging resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and good physical and mechanical properties, aging resistance, heat and low temperature resistance, oil resistance, flame resistance, wear resistance, and electrical insulation resistance.

Product Usage

Heavy duty anti-corrosion coatings for outdoor metals such as automobiles, steel, and iron parts. Special rubber products, hoses, tapes, rubber shoe industry, boat fenders, etc. Early rubber ships abroad generally used this material, but later on, due to cost reasons, PVC material was used instead. Nowadays, most countries' armies still use Hypalon ships.



Hypalon is a high-tech product with a lifespan of over 20 years. It has excellent durability and water resistance as well as good chemical resistance, mildew resistance, heat insulation, UV resistance, aging resistance, non discoloration, safety, non-toxic, easy cleaning, super toughness, sealing, acid resistance, alkali resistance and anti-corrosion. The low water absorption rate allows Hypalon to exhibit a long lifespan in harsh environments.
