Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene is a type of synthetic rubber that is used in the manufacturing of roofing membranes. It shows good resistance to weathering, UV radiation, and chemicals, along with durability, flexibility, and chemical stability. It is utilised in the electrical and cable industry because of its dielectric strength and is used as an insulating and protective jacket for wires and cables. It is resistance to heat, oil, and chemicals that makes it useful in the automotive sector for making fuel hoses, coolant hoses, air conditioning hoses, belts, and seals. It is employed in construction as sealants and protective coatings for buildings and infrastructure to provide waterproofing and protection against harsh environmental factors. It is used in the production of gaskets, seals, conveyor belts, and linings, particularly in chemical processing plants. It is utilised in the marine and outdoor sectors for making inflatable boats, life rafts, and protective clothing. It also finds its applications in products like handrails, escalator belts, bags, boots, and rainwear.

Feedstock for Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene

The manufacturing of chlorosulfonated polyethylene uses polyethylene as the first line of raw material. The changes in market dynamics of this feedstock affect the production of chlorosulfonated polyethylene.

The procurement of polyethylene is influenced by the cost and availability of raw materials like ethylene (fluctuations in crude oil and naphtha prices and supply disruptions impact ethylene prices). Its demand from downstream industries like packaging, consumer goods, medical and pharmaceuticals, automotive, construction, agriculture, textiles, toys, furniture, and insulation affects its availability. Its environmental regulations include limits on VOC emissions from manufacturing facilities, bans and restrictions on single-use polyethene products, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) for the collection and recycling of plastic waste that affects its sourcing. Also, disruptions in logistics, regulatory shifts, and the push for recycled or bio-based polyethylene further impact procurement strategies.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene manufacturing.

• From Polyethylene: The feedstock for this process includes polyethylene.

The manufacturing of chlorosulfonated polyethylene starts with the polymerisation of polyethylene. After that, polyethylene then goes through chlorination, giving chlorinated polyethylene as an intermediate. After chlorination, this intermediate goes through sulfonation by reacting with a mixture of sulfur dioxide and chlorine. This reaction introduces sulfonyl chloride groups into the polymer, giving chlorosulfonated polyethylene as the final product.
 

Properties of Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene

Chlorosulfonated polyethylene has a density in the range from 1.11 to 1.60 g/cm³ and a Shore A hardness between 40 and 95. Its tensile strength is around 21 MPa, with elongation at break between 200% and 500%. It can withstand high working temperatures, with some grades remaining stable up to 150 degree Celsius. It shows good dimensional stability with a low coefficient of thermal expansion. It contains 27–45% chlorine and 0.3–4% sulfur, and these functional groups provide good resistance to ozone, UV radiation, and harsh weather conditions. It is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, and many aggressive chemicals, and offers moderate resistance to oils and solvents. It also shows good flame retardancy and electrical insulation properties, along with low gas permeability and excellent ageing resistance. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in the production of automotive parts, roofing membranes, industrial hoses, and electrical insulation.
