The melt rheological behavior of chloro‐polyether and polyepichlorohydrin blends was studied. It was found that both the coupled and uncoupled blends at different blending ratios are pseudoplastic, but there was a great difference in pseudoplastic behavior between them. All the blends obeyed the principles of temperature superposition and composition superposition for plots of shear stress vs. shear rate. A model is proposed to describe and predict the rheological behavior of the blends.
