The present invention provides a chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin that enables the production of a molded article that maintains high adhesion strength even when used in a form subjected to high pressure and is less susceptible to defects such as cracks due to insufficient strength, as well as a resin composition for molding and a molded article each including the chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin. Provided is a chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin having an average of a ratio (A/B) of a peak intensity A observed in a range of 300 to 340 cm.sup.-1 to a peak intensity B observed in a range of 1,450 to 1,550 cm.sup.-1 of 0.1 or more and 3.5 or less in Raman imaging measurement by Raman spectroscopy.

The invention relates to an energy efficient, fast and environmentally favourable process for the preparation of chlorinated butyl rubbers, that uses hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and/or dichlorine monoxide (Cl.sub.2O) as halogenating agent. The process comprises reacting a copolymer with hypochlorous acid and/or dichlorine oxide. The copolymer comprises units derived from an isoolefin monomer and units derived from a multiolefin monomer. A preferred isoolefin is isobutene and a preferred multiolefin is isoprene.
