subnstudent -> Chlorination? (9/27/2006 9:07:10 AM)

I did a quick search on here but I couldn't find anything that has to do with a process called "chlorination" (I think).

Basically it changes the surface of latex or rubber so that there's less friction. ie, you wouldn't need lube to slide in an out of a catsuit and there wouldn't be any sticking to leather chairs, etc.

I don't know a whole lot about this and I was wondering if anybody could help me find resources.

Thanks!

Cholrination is a process done during manufacturing of rubber or latex, usually in the production of rubber/latex gloves.

The process involves washing in water containing dissolved chlorine, followed by neutralisation and rinsing to eliminate any residue. The chlorine modifies the chemical structure of the glove's surface and is permanent and irreversible. Chlorination is also sometimes termed halogenation and can refer to a smooth finished product. Chlorination makes the rubber/latex surface slippery thus making it easier to slide over skin. It is therefore an essential process for rubber/latex gloves without a lined interior or where there is no powder to help ease them on. Single-use, "non-powdered" disposable gloves made of natural or synthetic (nitrile, etc.) rubber are chlorinated.

Well a Google search turned up this;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorination
out of 1,840,000 possibilities, most of which are for use in drinking water, swiming pools, or treating fresh fruit.  Went through 10 pages and all of it was towards that use, not doubting the use as stated above, but never heard of it until now and didnt have time to go through all the rest of the Google pages.

now I just need to find out some methods of applying this at home. ^_^

Thanks for the input.

Chlorination is a highly technical manufacturing process that is tightly monitored and carefully controlled. Poor chlorination practices can result in material that is weak, tears easily, has pinholes, is discolored and can become brittle or gummy.

Chlorination involves multiple steps, each of which is constantly monitored. Under-chlorinated material is tacky and difficult to use; over-chlorinated material rapidly degrades becoming brittle and darkly colored.

Chlorination will affect the life of latex/rubber. Poorly chlorinated material rapidly degrades. Discoloration, cracking, tearing and enhanced heat and light sensitivity may occur, thereby shortening the life and reducing barrier effectiveness.

Have patience, and use non-scented, talc free baby powder or corn starch generously on the inside of your garments. Another option is to use a silicone-based shining product or a NON oil-based lubricant to make putting on your clothing easier.

ahhh that would be why I couldn't find any public resources. Thanks for the advice.

Elegant;

As usual, you never fail to impress me with your wonderful knowledge of different methods of manufacturing and care. Just saying a quick thank you.

God I do so love owning a research slut, LOL.

And chlorinization is one of the many reasons why people have skin reactivities to certain types of processed rubber products!



Townvideot -> RE: Chlorination? (10/1/2006 4:26:39 PM)

 International Association of Rubberists...http://www.rubberist.net/  has had some discussion about chlorinization of rubber/latex in their forums.  I haven't tried any of the advice they had so can't speak from personal experience so I will neither condemn nor condone. I only mention that this topic was discussed quite a lot. Be aware,  IAR's website is a bit difficult to navigate through at first and takes some getting used to.

Chlorine is some nasty, reactive stuff.

Watch yourself.

Its a known carcinogen and the gas it gives off can kill you in large amounts.



PrincessinLatex -> RE: Chlorination? (10/1/2006 5:17:08 PM)

Chlorination has been done to garments by many of my friends. It isnt the type done during manufacture. . .it's after you have the garment in your possession. You can actually do it with bleach in your own washing machine. From what they tell me. . .lube is no longer required for dressing. . .but the down side is that it is more difficult to shine your garment once it is done (that is why I'm so hessitant).

I don't know what kind of chlorination everyone else is talking about. . .but no one had reported any ill effects to themselves after chlorinating their latex garments. I also think there is an easy to read version of chlorinating using your washing machine on rubberpal.com

Nyckname -> RE: Chlorination? (10/1/2006 8:23:45 PM)

There's a thread on the Rubberist board right now about doing it with gas from a cylinder. The problem is figuring out how to safely vent the gas afterwards.

cheers

You want to fool around with chlorine..so be it...I don't advise it and NEVER will...but you've been warned.

I wont come near the stuff.

I know what it does.

Thanks to rubberjin.

Here is a link to chlorination 101. . .I don't think you will find anything that will kill you as long as you use some common sense. If you yave used laundry bleach, then you know the "dangers" of chlorinating a garment.There is also a link that the bottom of this page on how to chlorinate using your washing machine. Happy rubbering and don't believe the hype.

subnstudent -> RE: Chlorination? (10/2/2006 12:15:32 PM)

Wow. And to think I was just doing research before I bought stuff.

It makes me want to go out and buy a closetful. ^_^

Thank you, PrincessinLatex, VERY MUCH, for these resources.

EbonyFtshGoddess -> RE: Chlorination? (10/2/2006 5:29:19 PM)

here is another link.

i'm gonna practice on a torn piece of rubber first before i scrap it.
