CPW - The Versatile Flame Retardant and Plasticizer Solution

Transform your industrial applications with Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW), the multi-functional additive that enhances flame retardancy while providing excellent plasticizing properties.

Understanding CPW (Chlorinated Paraffin Wax)

Chlorinated Paraffin Wax represents a crucial industrial additive that combines flame retardant properties with plasticizing capabilities. This versatile material is produced through the chlorination of high-quality paraffin wax, resulting in different grades based on chlorine content and carbon chain length. CPW's unique chemical structure provides excellent flame retardancy while improving the processability of various materials. Its stability and compatibility with multiple polymers make it an indispensable component in modern industrial applications.

CPW Classifications

Short Chain CPW (C10-C13)

Our short-chain CPW grades feature chlorine content ranging from 40% to 70%. These grades offer excellent flame retardancy and plasticizing effects, particularly suitable for metalworking fluids and specialized industrial applications. The higher chlorine content variants provide enhanced flame retardant properties.

Medium Chain CPW (C14-C17)

Medium chain grades, available in 40% to 60% chlorine content, provide balanced performance between plasticizing and flame retardant properties. These grades excel in PVC applications and rubber products, offering good stability and compatibility while maintaining environmental compliance.

Long Chain CPW (C18-C20)

Designed for applications requiring high stability, our long-chain CPW grades contain 40% to 50% chlorine. These grades provide excellent heat stability and low volatility, making them ideal for long-term applications in plastics and coatings where durability is essential.

Liquid Grades

Our liquid CPW grades offer easier handling and processing characteristics. Available in various chlorine contents, these grades are particularly suitable for applications requiring room temperature fluidity while maintaining excellent flame retardant properties.

Applications in Modern Industry

CPW serves diverse industrial sectors with its multi-functional benefits. In the PVC industry, it acts as both a secondary plasticizer and flame retardant, enhancing product flexibility while improving fire safety characteristics. From cables to artificial leather, CPW ensures products meet stringent safety standards.

The paint and coating industry relies on CPW for its flame retardant properties and plasticizing effects. It improves the coating's durability while providing essential fire safety characteristics, particularly important in industrial and protective coatings.

Rubber manufacturing benefits from CPW's plasticizing properties and flame retardancy. The material enhances processing characteristics while improving the final product's fire resistance, crucial for products like conveyor belts and industrial rubber goods.

In metalworking applications, CPW serves as an effective extreme pressure additive in cutting oils and lubricants. Its chlorine content provides excellent lubricity and cooling properties, extending tool life and improving machining efficiency.
