Chlorinated Paraffin 52%

CAS No. 63449-39-8 / INCI Name: Chlorinated Paraffin

HOME & INSTITUTIONAL CARE, CLEANING & SANITATIONINDUSTRIAL

Chlorinated Paraffin 52% is a medium-chain chlorinated hydrocarbon primarily used in industrial and cleaning applications for its flame-retardant, plasticizing, and extreme-pressure lubricant properties. With 52% chlorine content, this product enhances flexibility, heat resistance, and chemical stability in PVC, rubber, and metalworking fluids. It is commonly used in formulations where high-temperature or wear resistance is essential, such as conveyor belts, cables, and cutting oils.

Key Benefits and Uses of Chlorinated Paraffin 52%:

  • Flame Retardancy
    Imparts self-extinguishing properties to polymers, especially PVC and rubber-based materials.

  • Extreme Pressure Lubricant
    Enhances metalworking fluid performance under high loads and heat, reducing wear and friction.

  • Plasticizing Action
    Increases flexibility and processability in industrial compounds, especially for cable sheathing and vinyl flooring.

  • Chemical & Thermal Stability
    Performs well in harsh industrial environments and contributes to the durability of materials.

  • Cost-Effective Additive
    Offers multifunctionality across flame retardancy, lubrication, and flexibility enhancement.

Common Applications Include:

  • PVC flooring, hoses, and cables

  • Rubber-based conveyor belts and seals

  • Metalworking fluids (cutting oils, rolling oils)

  • Industrial paints, coatings, and adhesives

  • Flame-retardant plastics and materials
