Headquarters: Clarence, NY Hypalon (CSM) Gaskets and O-Rings
The polyethylene polymer contains additional chlorine and sulfur groups. Chlorine gives the material resistance to flame and mineral oil and also improves the cold flexibility.
Both o-rings and gaskets can be made from Hypalon materials.
Names: Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene, CSM, Hypalon®
