- As a flexible coating for carbon paper
Versatile Applications in Multiple IndustriesChlorinated Paraffin serves as a valuable plasticizer and flame retardant in a broad range of industries. Its typical uses include cable compounds, paints, plastics, rubber goods, adhesives, sealants, and metal working fluids. Compatibility with a variety of plasticizers and resins ensures it delivers flexibility and durability to finished products, especially in demanding applications such as the leather and cable industries.
Safety, Storage, and Environmental ConsiderationsWith a flash point above 175C and excellent chemical stability, Chlorinated Paraffin remains safe when stored and handled in standard industrial conditions. However, owing to its toxicity to aquatic life and poisonous nature if ingested or inhaled, proper precautions should be taken to prevent spills and exposure. Storage in tightly sealed drums or IBC tanks in cool, ventilated spaces helps maintain product quality within its two-year shelf life.
FAQs of Chlorinated Paraffin:
Q: How is Chlorinated Paraffin used as a plasticizer in manufacturing processes?
A: Chlorinated Paraffin is incorporated into PVC, rubber, and other plastics as a plasticizer to improve flexibility, durability, and flame retardancy. Manufacturers blend it with resins or other plasticizers during compounding to achieve specific performance characteristics required by the final product.
Q: What benefits does Chlorinated Paraffin provide in industrial applications?
A: Chlorinated Paraffin offers enhanced flame retardancy, chemical resistance, and flexibility to products. It is also valued for its low volatility and stable properties under a range of operational temperatures, making it ideal for use in demanding sectors such as cable manufacturing, paints, and lubricants.
Q: When should Chlorinated Paraffin be added during the manufacturing process?
A: Chlorinated Paraffin is typically added during the mixing or blending stage, before final shaping or molding occurs. Early integration ensures uniform dispersion and optimal interaction with other components, enhancing the final products properties.
Q: Where is Chlorinated Paraffin commonly applied within various industries?
A: It is widely used in cable compounds, rubber goods, flexible PVC, leather treatments, metal working fluids, paints, coatings, sealants, adhesives, and lubricants. Its versatility allows it to meet the specific needs of manufacturers across sectors such as construction, automotive, and electrical industries.
Q: What precautions should be observed when handling Chlorinated Paraffin?
A: Since Chlorinated Paraffin can be toxic if ingested or inhaled, and is hazardous to aquatic life, handlers should wear appropriate personal protective equipment and avoid environmental release. Spills should be contained and cleaned up promptly according to established safety guidelines.
Q: How is Chlorinated Paraffin typically supplied and stored to maintain its quality?
A: It is available in tightly-sealed drums, IBC tanks, or in bulk, and should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Proper sealing prevents contamination and maintains its stability throughout its recommended two-year shelf life.
