Product Overview
They are manufactured by chlorination of liquid n - alkenes or paraffin wax and contain from 30 to 70% chlorine HCI is generated as the by - product in the process of chlorination. The products are often divided in three groups depending on the chain length: short chain(C10 - C13), medium (C14 - C17) and long (C18 - C30) chain lengths Properties of Chlorinated Paraffin Wax:- They largely dependent on the chlorine content. Solubility in water: 1.7 to 236 I g/L at 25A C: pH: in the range from 5.06 to 7.12 The carbon chain length depends on the chain length of the feed stock. -Short chain: based on C10 - C13 paraffin -Medium chain: Based on C14 - C17 paraffin Characteristics :- -Soluble in Esters, Ether, Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, Ketones(expect Acetone) and Hydro Carbons -Compatible with most of the resins, Plastics and a wide range of plasticizers -Relatively inert -Non - Corrosive -Good resistance to acids and alkalies Application The largest application for chlorinated paraffins is as a platicizer, generally in conjunction with primary such as certain phthalates in flexible PVC. The Use of chlorinated paraffins in PVC imparts a number of technical benefits, of which the most significant is the enhancement of flame retardant properties. This is particularly of benefit in PVC flooring and cables.
