Rubber Paints

Chlorinated rubber and related chlorinated polymers form coating films by physical drying. Plasticizers or resins have to be added since otherwise brittle films are formed. 

Composition. The binder consists of ca. 65 % chlorinated rubber (usually low-viscosity grades) and ca. 35% plasticizer. Chlorinated paraffins are delivered by ICI (Cereclor) and Clariant, Muttens (CH). Special nonhydrolyzable plasticizers may be 

All inert minerals are suitable as extenders. Carbonate-containing extenders may only be used if no stringent requirements have to be satisfied as regards resistance to water and chemicals. 

The choice of solvent is practically unlimited. Xylene or other alkylbenzenes are generally recommended. Mixtures of esters and mineral spirit can be used to avoid compulsory warning labels. 

Hydrogenated and modified castor oil is used as an additive to adjust the viscosity and facilitate application with a brush or spray gun (compressed air or airless) layer thicknesses of 100 pm are thereby achieved [2.11]-[2.13].

Clays have layers of linked (Al, Si)04 tet-rahedra combined with layers of Mg(OH)2 or AI(0H)3- Clays are very important soil constituents and are used in pottery, ceramics, as rubber, paint, plastic and paper fillers, as adsorbents and in drilling muds. 

For special applications, however, such as for normally humid areas, and contaminated or chemically aggressive locutions, epoxy paints tne con.sidered to be more appropriate. They provide a protective coating which is resistant to chemical fumes, corrosion and temperature. Chlorinated rubber paints, which also fall into the same category of protective paints, may also be used for these areas but, not being temperature resistant, are not preferred to epoxy paints. 

Chlorinated rubber paints and vinyl paints have excellent resistance to high concentrations of acids and alkalis at temperatures up to 80°C. High-build chlorinated rubber paints, which give a thickness of 0.12 mm per coat are commonly used for process plant equipment. 

Vinyls Vinyl chloride co-polymer resins were developed in the USA in the late 1930s. They have better weather and slightly more chemical resistance than chlorinated rubber paints. They are generally resistant to crude oil but application is more critical. For example, they are particularly sensitive to moisture present on a surface during painting and this can lead to adhesion failure. They are also more prone to solvent entrapment than chlorinated rubber paints. 

Where fumes or deposits which act as anti-oxidants are present, no orthodox paint which dries by oxidation can give satisfactory service. Instead, a coating which dries either by evaporation (e.g. a selected chlorinated rubber paint), or by a cross-linking reaction (e.g. a catalysed epoxy or two-component polyurethane paint) must be used. 

Lifting may also occur if a paint containing strong solvents (xylol or solvent naphtha, not to mention such active solvents as esters and ketones) is applied (not necessarily by brushing) over a paint which is not resistant to them. The older an oxidising paint film becomes, the more solvent-resistant it will be. Short-oil media and pigment-rich paints are not so prone to lifting. This type of failure is not restricted to oil-base materials it can, for example, also occur with chlorinated rubber paints. 

A wide range of paints and other organic coatings is used for the protection of mild steel structures. Paints are used mainly for protection from atmospheric corrosion. Special chemically resistant paints have been developed for use on chemical process equipment. Chlorinated rubber paints and epoxy-based paints are used. In the application of paints and other coatings, good surface preparation is essential to ensure good adhesion of the paint film or coating. 

Figure 1 indicates a typical nitroglycerin facility "inside out" wood frame construction at a concrete floor slab. Note that the exterior cant strip, the lead conductive floor cant and the wood cap are all sloped to discourage product build-up and facilitate cleaning. This assembly also indicates spray-on foam insulation as an optional construction item. At Radford AAP this is a safety approved insulation system. The insulation at Radford AAP received a chlorinated rubber paint coating for weathering. 

Mirex and chlordecone are no longer made or used in the United States. Mirex and chlordecone were most commonly used in the 1960s and 1970s. Mirex was used as a pesticide to control fire ants mostly in the southeastern part of the United States. It was also used extensively as a flame retardant additive under the trade name Dechlorane in plastics, rubber, paint, paper, and electrical goods from 1959 to 1972 because it does burn easily. Chlordecone was used to control insects that attacked bananas, citrus trees with no fruits, tobacco, and ornamental shrubs. It was also used in household products such as ant and roach traps. Chlordecone is also known by its trade name Kepone . All registered products containing mirex and chlordecone were canceled in the United States between 1977 and 1978.

Under Behavior Towards Metals and Other Substances. AN very definitely attacks shellac, baked oils and natural rubber compounds if applied as a coating. The only materials that we know of which can be used as coatings for AN and AN solutions are certain polyvinyl chloride coatings and a number of epoxy resins. The Ordnance Department used acid-proof black paint, shellac, baked oil and rubber paints. All were quite unsuccessful over long periods of time...

Whereas zinc oxide was originally used as a pigment, its most important modem application is to aid in vulcanizing synthetic and natural rubber. Paint and coating industries use zinc white mainly as an additive to improve anticorrosion properties, mildew resistance, and durability of external coatings. 

The thermoelectric fire tests confirmed the fire-resistance of the navy stock fire-retardant interior white and experimental red deck paints (systems 1 and 5) and demonstrated the flammability of the navy deck gray, white enamel, vinyl-alkyd, and alkyd-chlorinated rubber paints, systems 2, 3, 4 and 6. 

Uses Mirex is used in North America and in the southeastern United States for the control of fire and ants. Mirex is also effective against the hamster ant, the yellow-jacket, the Texas leaf-cutting ant, and the Hawaiian mealy bug. A ban on the use of mirex for pest control with exemptions was brought in on June 30, 1978. It has its use as a fire retardant in plastics, rubber, paint, paper, and electrical goods from 1959 to 1972 due to its high melting point and high chemical stability.14,48... 

Matrices most used were soil, water, and organic liquids. Other matrices used were, for example, a polymer strip in the first proficiency test, a metal strip covered with a thin layer of paint in the third proficiency test, and a wipe sample in the fourth proficiency test. In the ninth and tenth proficiency tests, an emulsion sample and decontamination solutions were introduced. Not all sample matrices employed in the past are considered realistic. During the Preparatory Commission of the OPCW, the Task Force on Analytical Issues (see Fourth Report of the Expert Group on Inspection Procedures, PC-VIII/B/WP.12, dated September 20, 1994) discussed that sample matrices such as wipe, rubber, paint, and concrete will be extracted on site and sent as extracts off site for analysis, after splitting.
