AbstractPolyfunctional alcohols, acyclic, cyclic, and heterocyclic imines, and organotin oxides have been studied as crosslinking agents for chlorosulfonated polyethylene. Mechanisms for the crosslinking reactions involving the sulfonyl chloride moiety have been proposed. Differences in curing activity have been correlated with structural modifications of the curing agents consistent with classical chemical reactions for nonpolymeric systems. Of the curing systems examined, the polyols provide nontoxic, low cost, safe‐processing formulations offering excellent physical properties which have found use in practical commercial application
