Chlorinated Paraffin By Makwell Plastisizers Pvt. Ltd.

chlorinated paraffin waxes acquired a reputation for poor colour and low thermal stability. However, by employing modern chlorination techniques and the use of straight-chain liquid paraffin feedstock, chlorinated products are now produced which are water white and have properties comparable to those of the phthalate plasticizers.

Within the Makchlor range are six grades, which are specifically recommended for PVC applications. These grade can be used as sole plasticizers in relatively hard products, such as flooring compounds, but they are more normally used as partial replacements for phthalate or phosphate primary plasticizers. Their use in PVC compounds gives significant savings in raw material costs.
