VINYL AND CHLORINATED RUBBER

This article is a general overview of vinyl and chlorinated rubber coatings as they apply to maintenance coatings. Although these products date back to the 1930s, widespread use did not occur until the 1940s. High molecular weight polymer resins comprise these tough, chemical- and water-resistant films formed solely by solvent evaporation. Traditional vinyls and chlorinated rubbers have served as corrosion protection for bridges, pipelines, ships, and other marine facilities. Due to their high volatile organic compound coating formulations, these coatings are likely to be doomed to regulation extinction. The reformulation of these materials into high solids or water-borne variants has been hindered by the nature of the resins; however, scientists have had some success with polyvinylidene chloride-based latex terpolymers and chlorinated and chlorosulfonated polyolefins.
