General Properties:
CP is a neutral, clear, and slightly yellowish viscous liquid. It is insoluble in water and has low volatility. It has characteristics of flame retardation and compatibility with fillers and pigments and easily forms emulsions.
Compatibility:
It is compatible with majority of resins and plastics, such as natural and synthetic rubber, chlorinated rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, polyesters, polystyrene, acrylates, PVC, vinyl acetate and chloride copolymers. It is also compatible with phthalates, stearates and phosphates used in vinyl mixers.
Applications:
The largest application for chlorinated paraffin is as a plasticizer and flame-retardant in flexible PVC. They are also used as plasticizers in paint, sealants and adhesives. Higher chlorine content grades are used as flame-retardants in a wide range of rubbers and polymer systems. Another major outlet for chlorinated paraffin is in the formulation of metal-working lubricants where they have long been recognized as one of the most effective additives for lubricants used in a wide range of mechanical and engineering operations. Finally, they are used in leather formulations.
It is widely used in PVC compounding as secondary plasticizer, as partial replacement of DOP. Its resin and water repellence gives added application in paint industries for fire retardant paints. In the rubber industry, its fire retardant nature is important. In the leather and lube oil industry its lubricant nature and heat stability is applicable.
