Chlorinated Polyolefins (CPOs) are a type of plastic that are used in a variety of applications. They are produced by chlorinating polyolefin polymers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, to create a material with improved properties. CPOs are highly resistant to heat, chemicals, and UV radiation, making them ideal for use in outdoor applications. They are also flame retardant and have excellent electrical insulation properties. CPOs are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and electronics. CPOs are also used in the production of adhesives, coatings, and sealants. They are often used as a protective coating for metal surfaces, as well as for insulation in electrical and electronic components. CPOs are also used in the production of medical devices, such as catheters and syringes. CPOs are widely used in the plastics industry due to their excellent properties and cost-effectiveness. Companies in the CPO market include Dow Chemical, 3M, BASF, and Eastman Chemical. Show Less Read more
