Chloroparaffin C10-C13, 51,5% cl

Chlorinated paraffins are mixtures manufactured by chlorination of specific normal paraffinic fractions (straight chain hydrocarbons) obtained from petroleum refining.

Colorless or light yellow

Chlorinated paraffin is used as a secondary plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), in applications such as cables, where it improves resistance to water and chemicals, as an additive to paints, coatings and sealants, and as a road marking coating. Differences in chlorine content also affect its use, for example, flame retardants can be used with a chlorine content of about 70 percent, and those used as plasticizers have a chlorine content between 45 and 52 percent.
