Chlorinated Rubbers (CR)

Chlorinated rubber appears as a pale yellow resin. Its chemistry involves the chlorination of natural rubber, enhancing its resistance to chemicals, water, and corrosion. Key features include excellent adhesion, flexibility, and durability, making it suitable for harsh environments. Main applications include protective coatings for boats, bridges, and chemical equipment. 

Alternatives to chlorinated rubber include epoxy and polyurethane coatings. Current trend in this technology is the increasing use of chlorinated rubber in eco-friendly coatings due to its low VOC content. Sub-types include high-viscosity and low-viscosity versions.
