What is chlorinated paraffin used for in PVC?
Chlorinated paraffin is used as a secondary plasticizer in flexible PVC compounds, typically blended with a primary plasticizer like DOP or DINP. It reduces overall compound cost, improves flame retardancy, and adds heat/light stability.
What's the difference between CP-42 and CP-52?
The number refers to the percentage of chlorination. CP-52 has a higher chlorine content than CP-42, giving it better flame-retardant properties and heat stability, though with slightly higher viscosity. CP-52 is the most commonly used general-purpose grade.
Is chlorinated paraffin REACH compliant?
REACH compliance depends on the specific grade and its chain length — short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) face restrictions in several jurisdictions, while medium- and long-chain grades are more widely used. KLJ manufactures REACH-registered and pre-registered grades. Confirm the compliance status of the specific grade with us before use in export-oriented or regulated applications.
