YQXPOLYMER CSM-403: The World’s Most Versatile CSM Grade for Industrial Hoses, Cable Sheathing & High-Performance Gaskets
As global industries transition toward higher safety standards, longer service lifetimes, and more extreme working environments, the demand for advanced elastomers has never been greater.
Among these materials, Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSM) — originally known under DuPont’s Hypalon® — remains unmatched for its combination of chemical resistance, weather stability, and mechanical durability.
Today, YQXPOLYMER, a professional CSM raw-material manufacturer, proudly introduces a fully optimized and globally oriented overview of its flagship product: CSM-403, the most versatile and widely applied CSM grade in modern industrial manufacturing.
About CSM: A High-Performance Elastomer Designed for Harsh Environments
CSM rubber is engineered by introducing chlorine and sulfonyl chloride groups into polyethylene. This modification creates a highly stable polymer backbone with unique advantages:
Outstanding weather, UV, and ozone resistance
Strong flame retardancy without added halogens
Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, ozone, seawater, and oxidizing chemicals
Superior electrical insulation and arc resistance
Wide operating temperature range (–40 °C to +150 °C)
Long-term outdoor durability exceeding 10–15 years
For these reasons, CSM rubber remains a preferred material for:
Fuel, chemical, and hydraulic hoses
Cable sheathing & insulation
High-durability gaskets & seals
Marine and offshore equipment
Automotive weathering components
Coatings for chemical processing tanks and pipelines
As global industries upgrade from conventional elastomers such as EPDM, CR, or NBR, CSM is gaining rapid adoption due to its balanced performance and long service life.
Introducing CSM-403 — YQXPOLYMER’s Most Universal and Industry-Trusted CSM Grade
CSM-403 is YQXPOLYMER’s best-selling and most versatile grade. It is engineered to deliver stable processability, balanced mechanical properties, and superior chemical resistance across a wide range of applications.
⭐ Performance Highlights of CSM-403
1. Balanced Mechanical Strength
Tensile strength: ≥ 25 MPa
Elongation at break: ≥ 450–500%
Excellent tear resistance and abrasion resistance
These properties make CSM-403 ideal for dynamic and mechanical applications such as hoses, sealing rings, and automotive weather strips.
2. Resistant to Harsh Chemicals
CSM-403 maintains exceptional stability when exposed to:
Fuel oils, diesel, gasoline
Acids & alkalis
Oxidizing agents
Industrial chemicals and solvents
Saltwater & marine environments
This is why CSM-403 is widely used in chemical plants, offshore equipment, marine cables, and fuel systems.
3. Superior Weathering Resistance
CSM rubber is widely recognized as one of the best weathering-resistant elastomers in the world.
Tests show that even after prolonged exposure to:
☑ UV radiation
☑ High ozone concentration
☑ Extreme heat or cold
☑ Outdoor aggression
CSM-403 remains stable with minimal surface cracking.
4. Enhanced Flame Resistance
The inherent chlorine content supports:
Excellent flame retardancy
Low smoke generation
Stable performance under electrical stress
This makes CSM-403 a preferred material for power cables, industrial cables, and electrical insulation parts.
5. Flexible Processing and Crosslinking
Compatible with multiple curing systems:
ZnO curing
MgO curing
Peroxide curing
Sulfur curing
Manufacturers can easily integrate CSM-403 into existing production lines using extrusion or compression molding.

CSM-403 is widely used in:
Fuel hoses
Chemical-resistant hoses
Hydraulic hose covers
Marine hoses
Oil-resistant and weather-resistant industrial hoses
Its durability significantly reduces failure rates and extends service life in harsh working environments.
2. Cable Jacketing & Electrical Insulation
CSM-403 provides:
Long-term outdoor stability
Strong flame resistance
Stable dielectric strength
Weather-resistant performance for outdoor and marine cables
It is the preferred jacket material for solar cables, marine cables, offshore power transmission cables, and industrial control cables.
3. Gaskets, Seals & Molded Rubber Components
CSM-403 excels in:
High-stress sealing systems
Acid/alkali environments
Automotive under-hood applications
Chemical processing equipment
Marine machinery
Outdoor sealing systems
Its stability under fluctuating temperature and chemical exposure makes it a reliable long-term sealing material.
4. Coatings & Industrial Protection
CSM-403 is widely used as a base for:
Anti-corrosion coatings
Protective linings for tanks and pipes
Marine coatings
Chemical-resistant films
Its strong adhesion and chemical stability significantly improve the durability of metal surfaces.
