Chlorinated Rubber Paint

Chlorinated rubber is formulated through the reaction of raw rubber and chlorine, and dissolved in aromatics or ester solvent. Due to its poor heat resistance, other kinds of resin must be added to modify its chemistry to make it suitable to be used as paint. If too much resin is added, however, the chemistry of the chlorinated rubber will be compromised.

To improve the adhesive and water resistance problem of the single rubber paint, a proper amount of the cyclized rubber should be added to improve its function and flexibility. Such paint is usually called acid and alkali resistance rubber paint, or chlorinated rubber paint, or just “the rubber paint.”

Since rubber paint can be made to the topcoat and primer, and can be used with other anti-corrosive primers (such as epoxy), it is easy to use. Moreover, it dries quickly because the curing mechanism belongs to the solvent release, and because of its strong adhesiveness, it is widely used in steel construction. Nevertheless, because its production process uses chlorine carbon components, it is gradually being replaced by other paints (such as epoxy or PU) in response to increasing concerns for protecting the environment.
