Introduction to CSM / Hypalon®: The Durable, Chemical-Resistant Rubber
When it comes to industrial materials that demand both durability and chemical resistance, Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSM), also known by the brand name Hypalon®, stands out as one of the most reliable options available. Whether in harsh environmental conditions, extreme temperatures, or exposure to a wide range of chemicals, CSM polymer offers an unmatched combination of resilience and performance. At YQXPOLYMER, we specialize in delivering high-quality CSM polymers, ensuring industries worldwide benefit from this superior material’s properties.
What is CSM (Hypalon®)?
Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSM) is a synthetic rubber polymer made from polyethylene, modified by chlorosulfonation. This process gives CSM its exceptional characteristics, such as outstanding chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and weatherability. Originally trademarked as Hypalon®, CSM has earned a reputation in various industries for its superior performance in challenging conditions.
Hypalon® was first developed in the 1950s, and since then, it has been used in numerous applications requiring high-performance materials, including hoses, seals, gaskets, and roofing materials. The versatility and reliability of CSM polymers have made them a go-to solution for industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to chemical processing and oil & gas.
Key Characteristics of CSM / Hypalon®:
- Chemical Resistance: CSM excels in resisting a wide array of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents. This makes it ideal for environments where exposure to harsh substances is common.
- Durability: Known for its toughness, CSM polymer maintains its integrity even under extreme physical stresses such as abrasion, tearing, and impact.
- Weather Resistance: Whether exposed to UV radiation, ozone, or temperature extremes, CSM maintains its performance, making it an ideal material for outdoor applications, especially in automotive seals, roofing membranes, and flexible tubing.
- Elasticity & Flexibility: Despite its toughness, CSM retains flexibility, offering a balance between strength and pliability that is necessary for various sealing and protective functions.
- Flame Resistance: CSM polymers have inherent flame-resistant properties, making them suitable for use in applications where fire safety is paramount.
- Electrical Insulation: In addition to its mechanical and chemical properties, Hypalon® serves as an excellent electrical insulator, a key feature in cable coatings and wires.
