Chlorinated Paraffins in PVC and Metalworking
Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are produced by chlorinating n-paraffin fractions to various chlorine contents. In PVC processing they serve as secondary plasticisers and flame retardants, reducing cost while improving fire performance. In metalworking lubricants, high-chlorine CPs provide extreme-pressure (EP) lubrication for heavy-duty cutting, broaching, and threading operations. Regulatory restrictions apply to short-chain CPs (C10–C13) under REACH and Stockholm Convention; Terracore supplies medium- and long-chain grades.
