Description

Alkanes,C12-13,Chloro is a synthetic chlorinated paraffin derivative, specifically a mixture of C12 and C13 straight-chain hydrocarbons where hydrogen atoms have been substituted with chlorine. This chemical modification imparts valuable properties such as enhanced flame retardancy, lubricity, and plasticizing effects, making it a versatile industrial intermediate. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of flame retardants, plasticizers, metalworking fluids, and as a secondary plasticizer in PVC and other polymer systems.

Application

• As a flame retardant and smoke suppressant additive in plastics, rubber, textiles, and coatings.
• As a secondary plasticizer and cost-effective extender in flexible PVC products like cables, flooring, and hoses.
• As an extreme-pressure additive and lubricant in metalworking fluids, cutting oils, and greases.
• In the formulation of sealants, adhesives, and caulks to improve flexibility and processing.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid for other polymers including polyurethanes and nitrile rubber.
• As a viscosity modifier and additive in paints, inks, and corrosion inhibitors.

Quality Control

Our Alkanes,C12-13,Chloro is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and compliance with relevant industry specifications. Key parameters such as chlorine content, viscosity, color, and density are closely monitored. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and product integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and prevent contamination.
