Catalog Number	Q108
Definition	CLORTEX® is a chemically inert material with excellent film forming properties. It is a nonflammable, nontoxic, tasteless white powder. A fast physically drying binder. It has extremely low chemical reactivity and can be freely dissolved in solvents. An elastomer (natural rubber or a polyolefin) to which 65% of chlorine has been added to give a solid, film-forming resin. Compatible with almost all natural and synthetic resins.
CAS Number	9006-03-5
Application	CLORTEX® can be used extensively in an expanding range of applications. It can be used to formulate fast drying anticorrosion coating with good weather stability and resistance to water and chemicals. Additionally, it is used for the manufacture of different kinds of paints like anticorrosive, marine, traffic, fire retardant and intumescent, swimming pools. CLORTEX® also has applications in the manufacture of adhesives. In general, low viscosity grades are used in printing inks and spray paints, when low viscosity solutions are required with maximum solid content. Whereas grade 20 is a general purpose grade. Higher viscosity grades are used in special purpose adhesives and textile coatings.
