Chlorinated Paraffin (CP): The Versatile Flame Retardant and Cost-Effective Plasticizer
In the competitive world of polymer additives, Chlorinated Paraffin (CP) stands out as a dual-purpose powerhouse. Serving both as a highlyeffective secondary plasticizer and a robust flame retardant, CP is a critical component in the production of PVC, rubber, and industrial coatings. At WSD Chemical, we specialize in high-quality CP-52 and CP-70 grades designed to optimize your product's performance and cost-efficiency.
The Technical Edge of Chlorinated Paraffin
Chlorinated Paraffin is produced by the chlorination of paraffin fractions. Its properties vary by chlorine content, with CP-52 being the most versatile for general industrial use.
Flame Retardancy: Its high chlorine content provides excellent flame-extinguishing properties, making it essential for fire-safety regulated materials.
Cost Optimization: As a secondary plasticizer, CP can partially replace primary plasticizers (like DOP or DOTP), significantly reducing total formulation costs without sacrificing quality.
Chemical Resistance: Offers outstanding resistance to water, oil, and chemicals, enhancing the durability of coatings and sealants.
What is the difference between CP-52 and CP-70?CP-52 is a viscous liquid for general plasticization and flame retardancy. CP-70 is a solid resin with higher chlorine content for superior fire resistance in paints and plastics.
Can CP be used alone as a plasticizer? It is typically used as a secondary plasticizer alongside primary ones like DOTP to balance cost and properties.
