The chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) market is in a stage of increasing supply and demand, and the industry development trend is improving.

Chlorinated polyethylene, referred to as CPE, is a saturated polymer material, non-toxic and odorless, white powder in appearance, soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons, and insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons. According to different structures, chlorinated polyethylene can be divided into two categories: resin-type chlorinated polyethylene and elastomer-type chlorinated polyethylene.

There are currently three main chlorinated polyethylene production processes, namely solvent method, suspension method, and solid phase method. Among them, the solvent method is the earliest method used to produce chlorinated polyethylene, but this method has serious pollution defects and has been eliminated; the suspension method is currently the mainstream method for preparing chlorinated polyethylene in China, which refers to using high-density polyethylene powder as The method of producing chlorinated polyethylene from raw materials through emulsification, dispersion, initiation, chlorination and other processes has the advantages of stable output and less pollution.

The solid-phase method is a chlorinated polyethylene production method with great development potential. It has the advantages of no pollution, high-quality products, and short production processes. However, this method is still in the research and development stage and has not yet been industrialized. At present, against the background of the continuous acceleration of the research and development process of my country’s chlorinated polyethylene production technology, its production capacity has shown a continuous growth trend.

As a type of chlorine-containing polymer, chlorinated polyethylene has good weather resistance, oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, aging resistance, excellent flame retardant properties, coloring properties, compatibility properties, processing properties, etc., in Wires, cables, hoses, tapes, rubber, ABS modification, PVC profile pipes, magnetic materials and other manufacturing scenarios are widely used, and the terminal application fields include automobiles, construction, ships, electric power, mining, etc.

In recent years, as the domestic infrastructure construction process continues to accelerate, the market scale of wires and cables and PVC products has continued to expand, which in turn has driven the increasing market demand for chlorinated polyethylene. According to theChina Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) Industry Market In-depth Assessment and 2023-2027 Investment Feasibility Consultation Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》 It shows that under the background of the continuous improvement of domestic chlorinated polyethylene technology and the steady development of the application market, its market is showing a situation of both supply and demand, and the industry development trend is good.

The entry threshold for the chlorinated polyethylene industry is low. There are currently a large number of local companies in this field. The main companies include Keli Chemical, Sanyi Group, Haid Plastic, Yaxing Chemical, Bangtai Petrochemical, Ketian Chemical, and Hongfu Chemical. , Shuoyi Chemical, etc., the industry concentration is low. At the same time, there are many types of chlorinated polyethylene products, mainly including CPE135A, CPE135B, etc., and the market is relatively fragmented.

Industry analysts said that chlorinated polyethylene is a type of fine chemical product with excellent performance and wide application In recent years, against the background of the continuous emergence of new high-tech industries in China and the accelerating process of new infrastructure construction, the application fields of chlorinated polyethylene have continued to expand, market demand has continued to increase, and the industry development prospects are good. At the same time, my country is accelerating the improvement of chlorinated polyethylene production technology. In the future, the industry will continue to develop against the backdrop of continued growth in supply and demand.
