Description

Chlorinated Paraffin CAS NO 61788-76-9 is a versatile family of synthetic chemicals produced by chlorinating straight-chain paraffin hydrocarbons. It serves as a highly effective secondary plasticizer and flame retardant, offering significant cost-performance advantages and enhancing material properties. This product is essential for manufacturers in the PVC, rubber, paints, coatings, and sealants industries seeking to improve flexibility, fire resistance, and processing characteristics.

Application

• PVC Plasticizer & Flame Retardant: A cost-effective secondary plasticizer and flame retardant in flexible PVC applications such as cables, hoses, flooring, and films.
• Rubber Industry: Used as a plasticizer and flame retardant additive in various rubber compounds to improve processability and fire safety.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a plasticizer and flame retardant in industrial paints, traffic paints, and corrosion-resistant coatings to enhance adhesion and durability.
• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as an extreme pressure (EP) additive in cutting oils and lubricants to reduce wear and friction on metal surfaces.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts flexibility and flame retardancy to mastics, caulks, and adhesive formulations.
• Textile & Leather Treatment: Used in flame-retardant treatments for fabrics, textiles, and leather goods.
