Leachate Containment
Published in Syed R. Qasim, Walter Chiang, Sanitary Landfill Leachate, 2017
Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is produced by a chemical reaction between chlorine and high-density polyethylene. Presently available polymers contain 25-45% chlorine. Since CPE is a completely saturated polymer it is not susceptible to ozone attack and weathers well. The polymer also has good tensile and elongation strength. Chlorinated polyethylene is characterized by resistance to deterioration by many corrosive and toxic chemicals. Because they contain little or no plasticizer, CPE liners have good resistance to growth of mold, mildew, fungus, and bacteria.

Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) provides good to excellent resistance against aliphatic hydrocarbons, phenols, ketones, esters, acids, bases and salts. It also exhibits excellent abrasion characteristics and offers good resistance to cuts, tears and punctures.

Yet other sources of organic Cl, occurring less frequently in MSW, contribute to the overall [Cl] load. For example, chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is a thermoplastic elastomer produced by the chlorination of polyethylene (PE) with advanced properties (ViaChemical, 2017), finding its way typically into mixed unsorted or residual MSW. Dichloromethane (DCM) and tetrachloroethene (TCE) are chlorinated solvents with various applications, as well (Table 3).
