Chlorinated rubber
Chlorinated rubber coatings are a special class of coatings based on chlorinated rubber, a polymer produced by the chlorination of natural rubber or synthetic polybutadiene. These coatings are widely used in various industrial applications due to their unique properties.
Chlorinated rubber coatings are characterized by their resistance to chemicals, weathering and corrosion. Due to these properties, they are often used in environments where a robust and durable protective layer is required. This makes them particularly suitable for applications in the maritime sector, such as on ships and offshore structures. Another advantage of chlorinated rubber coatings is their good adhesion to various substrates, including metal, concrete and wood. This versatility enables their application in various industries, from the construction industry to infrastructure projects.
In addition, chlorinated rubber coatings offer a certain elasticity, which makes them particularly suitable for adapting to the movements of surfaces that may expand or contract due to temperature fluctuations or other influences. This flexibility contributes to the longevity of the coating.
Overall, chlorinated rubber coatings are a popular choice in industrial applications where protection and durability are critical, due to their resilient properties and adaptability to different environments and substrates.
