General Hypalon® Information: Vulcanizates of this chlorosulfonated polyethylene synthetic rubber are highly resistant to ozone, oxygen, weather, heat, oil, and chemicals. Hypalon resists discoloration on exposure to light and is widely used in light-colored vulcanizates. It can be compounded to give excellent mechanical properties. Several grades are available, all of which may be processed and used in the usual manner for solid elastomeric vulcanizates. Various grades of Hypalon have been used in single-ply roofing systems; auto power steering and oil cooler hoses; chemical-resistant liners; cable sheathing; and other coatings.
