Usage

Description

Chlorinated paraffins are a class of chemicals with a variety of applications, characterized by their chlorine chain length. CAS 106232-86-4 represents a Long Chain Chlorinated Paraffin (LCCP) with 24 chlorine atoms, which is less environmentally sensitive than its short-chain counterparts. These compounds are largely inert, almost insoluble in water, and possess flame retardant properties. They serve as plasticizing additives in various industries, including metal lubricants, cutting fluids, plastics, rubber, paint, and adhesives. China is the leading producer of chlorinated paraffins globally.

Uses

Used in Metal Lubricants and Cutting Fluids:
Chlorinated paraffin is used as a plasticizing additive to enhance the performance and efficiency of metal lubricants and cutting fluids. Its flame retardant and inert properties contribute to improved safety and reduced environmental impact.
Used in Plastics Industry:
Chlorinated paraffin is utilized as a plasticizer in the plastics industry, providing flexibility and workability to the material. Its flame retardant nature also offers an added advantage in creating safer plastic products.
Used in Rubber Industry:
In the rubber industry, chlorinated paraffin is employed as a plasticizing additive to improve the rubber's flexibility, processability, and overall performance. Its flame retardancy further enhances the safety of rubber products.
Used in Paint and Coating Industry:
Chlorinated paraffin is used as a plasticizer in paint and coating formulations, offering improved flow and leveling properties. Its flame retardant characteristics also contribute to the development of safer and more durable coatings.
Used in Adhesives Industry:
Chlorinated paraffin is incorporated as a plasticizing additive in adhesives, enhancing their bonding strength, workability, and overall performance. Its flame retardant properties also provide an additional layer of safety in adhesive applications.
