Example of chlorinated polyethylene formula

Chlorine content could be as high as 70% by weight but the current grades have a chlorine content in the 25% up to 42% range. 

Properties vary with chlorine content, crystallinity and molecular weight. 

Applications as primary thermoplastics to produce flexible parts and products are, for example  

CM are speciality elastomers that can be crosslinked either by curing agents or irradiation leading to parts with fair flexibility, resistance to heat, oils and fuels, ignition, chemicals, low temperatures and weathering. 

Because of their resistance to automotive fluids CM are used for hoses, tubing, air ducts and wire jacketing, tubes and covers for return side power steering hoses, single construction emission and vacuum tubing, hose covers, large diameters and convoluted geometries required for air intake ducts...
