What is Hypalon rubber?

What is Hypalon rubber?

Hypalon® is the DuPont® trademark for chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) synthetic rubber. It was a common high-performance material used for the insulation of wire and the jacketing of cable. Its thermal, mechanical and electrical characteristics offered many benefits for specialized and unique applications.

Is Hypalon thermoplastic?

By the same token, Hypalon rubber strip is common in certain below ground waterproofing applications, although this is a thermoplastic derivative.

What is Chlorosulphonated polyethylene rubber?

Chlorosulfonated polyethylene or CSM is a synthetic rubber based on polyethylene. This rubber is a material with Neoprene Polychloroprene plus other qualities. Chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM) is known for its excellent resistance to atmospheric conditions and good resistance to chemicals.

What is Hypalon fabric made of?

synthetic rubber
Hypalon was a chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) synthetic rubber (CSM) noted for its resistance to chemicals, temperature extremes, and ultraviolet light. It was a product of DuPont Performance Elastomers, a subsidiary of DuPont.

Can Hypalon be heat welded?

Thermo set plastic coated fabrics are Hypalon and Neoprene. This means that heat of friction can also melt the coatings, and the consumer needs to be aware of this.

Does Hypalon absorb water?

Further, HYPALON is flame resistant, offers excellent color stability, weather and abrasion resistance. Low moisture absorption, good dielectric qualities, and high abrasion resistance are among its other features.

Is CSM the same as Hypalon?

About PVC & ORCA® CSM (Hypalon) Hypalon was discontinued by its manufacturer (DuPont) and is now sold under its slightly different formula and new name “CSM” or Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene Rubber.

What replaced Hypalon?

Hypalon was discontinued by its manufacturer (DuPont) and is now sold under its slightly different formula and new name “CSM” or Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene Rubber.

What is Hypalon® synthetic rubber?

All of the available types of Hypalon ® synthetic rubber, when properly compounded and cured, possess the basic characteristics for which Hypalon®. is known—good “rubberlike” mechanical properties and excellent resistance to the deteriorating effects of oxygen, ozone, weather, heat, oils and chemicals.

What is Hypalon used for?

Hypalon ® is also widely used for fuel hose covers and various vacuum and emission tubing applications. Hypalon ® is used widely as a sheathing material for cable constructions. It is often specificed in this application for resistance to weathering, sunlight, ozone, and heat.

What is the difference between Hypalon® 45 and Hypalon ® 48?

The higher hardness of Hypalon ® 45 at this low loading level allows the formulation of easy processing, high durometer stocks. Hypalon ® 30 and 48 give maximum resistance to oil, with Hypalon ® 48 providing better physical and low-temperature properties.
