CPE 120 Guide: Sourcing, Specs & Applications

The phrase 'CPE 120' refers to a specific grade of Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) characterized by a lower chlorine content (typically around 20%) compared to the industry-standard CPE 135A (35% chlorine). This distinction makes CPE 120 an elastomer-based material focused on high flexibility and low-temperature performance, whereas CPE 135A is primarily a thermoplastic impact modifier used for rigid PVC reinforcement.
