What is chlorination?

Chlorination is a chemical process and a specialized treatment for your latex garments. It gives the material a smooth, silicone-like feel and makes dressing effortless. The result is a permanently soft, sleek finish.

This means:

  • In most cases you won't need talc or lube to get into it.
  • You can get dressed quickly and with no fuss or mess.
  • The latex won't stick to itself once it is clean and dry again.
  • You can wear street clothing over chlorinated latex without it dragging.
  • You can wear it in bed for example, without it catching.
  • You can wear layer upon layer if you wish, with each sliding perfectly over the other.
  • The smell and noise are reduced
  • It is more resistant to staining
  • It may have improved shine
  • Many allergy sufferers report NO reaction to chlorination latex.

Chlorination doesn't:-

  • Guarantee to make rough latex smooth
  • Restore surface shine worn away from e.g. knees
  • Remove or stop staining totally
  • Work on garments covered with silicone or other polishes
  • Change the color of your latex.

After Chlorination you treat the garment just like any other. You can:

  • Wash & dry as before
  • Protect from light, heat and sharp edges
  • Polish if you like the outer surface. Remember any silicone transferring to the inside will block the effect of chlorination until you clean it off
  • Repair as usual but take extra care to roughen the surfaces first.
