Chloroalkanes C14-17

Chloroalkanes C14-17 (CAS 85535-85-9), commercially known as medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs), are chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds used in industrial manufacturing.

Where is Chloroalkanes C14-17 used?

• PVC compounding: secondary plasticizers and flame retardants that reduce formulation costs while improving fire resistance in cables, flooring and wall coverings
• Metalworking fluids: extreme-pressure additives that protect tooling and workpieces during heavy-duty cutting, drawing and forming
• Leather fat-liquoring and textile finishing: softness and water resistance
• Rubber and sealant manufacturers incorporate them to meet flame retardancy specifications.

Good to know: Product selection is driven primarily by chlorine content and viscosity grade.

Commercial specifications

• Chlorine content typically 40% to 70%
• Chlorine content specified at 45%, 52% or 70% by weight
• Bulk supply in drums and ISO tanks; grades to meet regional regulatory requirements
