Why CSM / Hypalon® Outperforms Other Materials in Extreme Temperature and Chemical Conditions


Posted June 12, 2025 by GiaZhou

Discover why CSM (Hypalon®) from YQXPOLYMER remains the top choice for extreme temperature and chemical exposure applications. Compare its advantages over EPDM, NBR, and other elastomers in durability, resistance, and longevity.

 
🔍 Why CSM / Hypalon® Outperforms Other Materials in Extreme Temperature and Chemical Conditions
In industries that operate in high-stress environments—whether it's chemical processing, marine, automotive, or power generation—selecting the right rubber material is mission-critical. CSM, also known by the brand name Hypalon®, has long been recognized for its outstanding performance in extreme temperatures, aggressive chemicals, ozone exposure, and UV radiation.
At YQXPOLYMER, we manufacture high-quality CSM (Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene) rubber designed to outperform other materials where conventional elastomers fall short. Here's how it compares:

🔬 1. Temperature Resistance
Material Operating Temp Range (°C)
CSM / Hypalon® -40 to +160
EPDM -50 to +130
NBR (Nitrile) -30 to +110
Silicone -60 to +200 (but poor tear strength)
CSM strikes the ideal balance between temperature stability and mechanical strength, especially in hot environments where EPDM or NBR may soften or crack.

🧫 2. Chemical Resistance
CSM exhibits superior resistance to:
Acids and alkalis
Bleach and oxidizing agents
Ozone, UV, and aging
Oil and fuels (moderate)
Compared to NBR (good for oils but poor in acids), or EPDM (resistant to water-based chemicals but poor in oils), CSM is the more balanced, robust performer.

🌊 3. Weathering, Ozone, and UV Resistance
Outdoor applications demand durability against weather, UV, and ozone.
CSM maintains structural integrity and surface stability even after prolonged exposure, making it the material of choice for:
Cable sheaths
Waterproof membranes
Boat covers and marine hoses
Other materials degrade or crack over time—especially EPDM and NBR when UV exposure is high.

🏗 4. Mechanical Properties and Longevity
Excellent abrasion resistance
Strong tensile strength
Long service life in harsh environments
This makes CSM ideal for gaskets, seals, coatings, and flexible barriers in aerospace, automotive, and defense industries.
