Composition

CPE EPR compounds combine chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR). These compounds may also include other additives such as fillers, plasticizers, stabilizers, and curing agents.

Properties

CPE EPR compounds offer a unique set of properties:

• Excellent Weather Resistance
• Good Chemical Resistance
• High Flexibility
• Heat Resistance
• Low Temperature Flexibility
• Electrical Insulation

Manufacturing Process

CPE EPR compounds are typically manufactured through a compounding process where chlorinated polyethylene and ethylene propylene rubber are mixed together with additives using specialized equipment such as internal mixers or twin-screw extruders.

Applications

CPE EPR compounds find numerous applications across industries due to their versatile properties. Some common applications include:

• Wire and Cable Insulation
• Automotive Seals and Gaskets
• Roofing Membranes
• Weather Stripping
• Industrial Hoses

Environmental Considerations

Efforts are made to develop CPE EPR compound formulations with eco-friendly additives and raw materials. Additionally, recycling initiatives are in place to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
