Description

Chlorowax40 is a chlorinated paraffin wax, a high-performance additive and secondary plasticizer known for its excellent flame-retardant and plasticizing properties. This product is essential for formulators seeking to enhance the fire resistance and flexibility of various polymeric materials while managing costs. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the plastics, rubber, coatings, and sealants industries, where it provides a reliable balance of performance and processability.

Application

• Flame Retardant & Plasticizer for PVC: Widely used in flexible PVC applications such as cables, wires, flooring, and hoses to impart flame retardancy and improve low-temperature flexibility.
• Extreme Pressure Additive in Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a key component in lubricants and cutting oils, providing superior lubrication and wear protection in demanding metal forming and machining operations.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Enhances the flexibility, adhesion, and fire resistance of mastics, caulks, and other sealant products.
• Rubber Compounding: Acts as a processing aid and plasticizer in various rubber compounds, improving extrusion and molding characteristics.
• Paint & Coating Additive: Incorporated into industrial paints and coatings to improve water resistance and provide flame-retardant properties.
• Textile & Leather Treatment: Used in back-coatings and treatments to provide flame-retardant finishes for fabrics and leather goods.
