The invention discloses a preparation method of chlorinated rubber, and relates to the technical field of rubber production. The preparation method comprises the three steps of synthesis of a chlorinating agent and tert-butyl
hypochlorite, chlorination reaction and post-treatment, wherein
ultraviolet radiation is introduced in the chlorination reaction. By adopting the preparation method of the chlorinated rubber disclosed by the invention, the production cost is lowered. Moreover, production equipment is simple, the chlorination efficiency is improved, the
chlorine content of the chlorinatedrubber is up to 68 percent, and the technical indexes fully meet the use requirements.
