Chlorinated paraffins are complex mixtures of polychlorinated n-alkanes produced by reacting chlorine gas with unbranched paraffin fractions derived from petroleum distillation. They appear as colorless or yellowish viscous liquids or solids depending on chain length and chlorine content. Chlorinated paraffins are classified based on carbon chain length into short-chain, medium-chain, and long-chain varieties. Technical grade chlorinated paraffins are manufactured for industrial applications including plasticizers, flame retardants, metalworking additives, and surface coatings. They exhibit excellent compatibility with polymers, high thermal stability, water resistance, and chemical resistance.
