Polymers
Chlorinated Paraffins (47%, 52%)
Formula:
CnH2n+2-xClx
GOST/CAS:
ГОСТ 25263-82 / ТУ 2493-004-74667698-2014
Chlorinated paraffins (grades CP-47 and CP-52) are highly efficient secondary plasticizers and flame retardants. They are transparent, odorless, oily liquids ranging from colorless to light yellow. Due to their high chlorine content, the product exhibits exceptional flame-retardant properties, chemical inertness, and hydrophobicity. It serves as a cost-effective component for the partial replacement of scarce primary plasticizers (phthalic acid esters) in polymer formulations.
Applications
PVC and Cable Compounds Production: Used as a secondary plasticizer in the formulation of cable compounds, linoleum, artificial leather, PVC films, and profiles to reduce production costs and improve flame retardancy.
Paint and Coating Industry: Incorporated into flame-retardant, chemical-resistant, and weatherproof enamels, varnishes, and paints (including road marking paints), enhancing coating adhesion and atmospheric resistance.
Lubricants and Metalworking Fluids: Applied as an effective extreme-pressure (EP) and anti-wear additive in automotive gear oils and metalworking fluids used for high-pressure metal forming.
Construction Chemicals and Rubber Products: Utilized in the manufacturing of sealants, adhesives, mastics, as well as in rubber compounds based on various synthetic rubbers to impart flame-retardant properties.
Key Advantages
High Flame Retardancy (Flame Retardant): Suppresses the combustion of polymer materials effectively by releasing hydrogen chloride during thermal decomposition, ensuring compliance with strict fire safety standards.
Cost Efficiency: Enables the substitution of up to 20–30% of expensive primary plasticizers (DOP, DBP) in formulations without compromising the physical and mechanical properties of the end product.
Chemical and Thermal Stability: Demonstrates excellent resistance to hydrolysis, acids, alkalis, and oxidizing agents, while maintaining stability under standard plastic processing temperatures.
Hydrophobicity and Weather Resistance: Practically insoluble in water, preventing the plasticizer from leaching out of finished products, thereby increasing their durability and water resistance.
Storage & Transportation
- Store in tightly sealed containers in covered warehouses or specially equipped storage tanks protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Storage temperature range: from -20°C to +40°C. The product does not lose its properties upon freezing; however, reheating in a warm room is recommended prior to use after low-temperature exposure.
- Transportation can be carried out by all modes of transport (road, rail) in accordance with liquid cargo transportation regulations. The product is classified as Class 9 hazardous material for transport (environmentally hazardous substance).
- Guaranteed shelf life is 1 year from the date of manufacture.
