What is chlorinated rubber?
It is a polymer material obtained by chemically reacting natural rubber or synthetic rubber with chlorine gas.
Preparation of chlorinated rubber:
Ingredients: Natural rubber or synthetic rubber.
Chlorination reaction: In a solvent (such as carbon tetrachloride), chlorine gas is bubbled into a rubber solution to carry out the chlorination reaction.
Post-processing: The finished chlorinated rubber is obtained through steps such as precipitation, washing, and drying.
The basic unit of natural rubber is isoprene. After chlorination, some hydrogen atoms are replaced by chlorine atoms, forming chlorinated isoprene units.
Finished product: The industrial product is a white or pale yellow powder, non-toxic and odorless.
