High Chlorinated Polyethylene (HCPE resin)
High chlorinated polyethylene resin is made from polyethylene through highly chlorination.It’s a type of chlorinated polymer which contains chlorine at 65 - 69%. It is transparent, hard and brittle thermoplastic resins. It has high chemical stability, good salt water resistance and good ultraviolet resistance. It is easily soluble in polar organic solvents such as toluene, xylene and esters, forming a colorless to pale yellow, transparent solution, can it does not contain double bonds in the molecular structure, chlorine atoms are randomly distributed. When this solution is applied to the surface of metal, concrete, paper etc., the solvent readily vaporizes at room temperature to leave a transparent, hard and lustrous glass-like film. This film resists the permeation of moisture and oxygen gas, and shows high resistance to various chemicals such as acids and alkalis. It protects the substrates from corrosion, and also serves as a top coating for decorative purposes.
