CPW

Chlorinated paraffins (CPW) are carbon-chain hydrocarbons (the scientific name is--they vary in length) that have been chlorinated. CPWs have shorter carbon chains than normal paraffins and have 97% to 98% chlorines. They are produced by chlorinating paraffins (obtained from paraffin fractions obtained from petroleum distillation). The three most common commercial feedstocks used are paraffins with carbon number ranges of: Short-chain (C 10-13), Intermediate-chain (C 14-17) and Long-chain (C 18-30).

Application

Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW) is generally used as plasticizer in manufacturing of PVC compounds for Wires and Cables, Footwears and Toys

• PVC Tubing pipes used for irrigation, gardening and other industrial works PVC flooring, film & sheets, PVC rexin, cloth coating and lubricants
• Rubber products like V belts
• Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW) is used as flame retardant for impregnating textiles & fabric of all kinds
• Find applications in paint industries for the manufacturing of fire proof paints

They have also found application in adhesives, sealants, caulks and are used in the automotive and metalworking industries as lubricants for wide range of machining and engineering operations
