Chlorinated Paraffin (CP) is a complex mixture of polychlorinated n-alkanes, produced by the chlorination of paraffin wax. It is a transparent, viscous liquid or waxy solid characterized by high chemical stability and low volatility.
Available in various grades based on chlorine content (typically 40% to 70%) and carbon chain length (Medium C14-17, Long C18-30), it serves as a cost-effective secondary plasticizer and flame retardant. It is extensively used in the production of flexible PVC, rubber compounds, paints, adhesives, and metalworking fluids.
• Appearance: Clear to pale yellow viscous liquid / White solid powder
• Chlorine Content: 40% – 72% (Common grades: 40%, 45%, 52%, 62%)
• Specific Gravity (at 27°C): 1.16 – 1.65 (increases with chlorine content)
• Viscosity (at 27°C): 2 – 100+ Poise (Grade dependent)
• Color (Hazen/APHA): 30 – 120 Max
• Thermal Stability: Good (Low HCl evolution at high temps)
• Volatile Loss: Low (< 2.5% at 180°C/4hrs)
PVC Processing: Used as a secondary plasticizer and flame retardant to improve flexibility, fire resistance, and processing performance in PVC compounds.
Rubber and Elastomers: Used to enhance flexibility, oil resistance, and flame retardancy in rubber formulations.
Metalworking Fluids : Used as an extreme pressure additive in cutting oils and lubricants to improve wear resistance and tool life.
Paints and Coatings: Used to improve flame retardancy, chemical resistance, and film durability in industrial coating systems.
