India Chlorinatted Paraffins

Specifications: Product Description: superchlor is manufactured by chlorination of paraffin hydrocarbons of varying carbon chain lengths, under carefully controlled conditions. Several grades are available to suit individual requirement. These grades differ in chlorine content, viscosity and specific gravity.

The normal grades manufactured are superchlor 40, 45, 52, 58, 65, and 70, where the figures represent the percentage of chlorine. All grades of superchlor are suitably stabilized to withstand normal temperature, storage etc.

Because of its low price, special chemical properties and versatility, superchlor is used in the most varied branches of mineral oils, plastics, rubber processing, lacquers, surface coating, polysuphide sealants, auxilary substance for leather, textile and metal working.

APPLICATION : PVC COMPOUNDING : superchlor grades having 40% to 52% chlorine content are employed in PVC as primary or secondary plasticizers on account of their good compatibility with PVC and common ester plasticizers.

The most economic grade for use in PVC, however, is superchlor-52, which has the maximum compatibility and consequently it can replace more of costly primary plasticizer.

In fact, the compatibility of superchlor-52 with PVC is so good that in many rigid or semi-rigid applications such as PVC Pipes & Fittings, films, floorings, leather cloths, where DOP levels are not more than 20 phr, DOP can be completely replaced with superchlor-52.

Addition of superchlor-52 to PVC improves resistivity increases and so also flame retardancy of the compound. Superchlor-52 possesses good PVC gelling capability. Where DOP is cheaper, superchlor-52 is used mainly as a fire retardancy additive, otherwise, it is used mainly as a cost saving additive.
