Chlorinated paraffins are the mixtures of polychlorinated n-alkanes produced by the chlorination of paraffin fractions. It is widely used as a secondary plasticizer and flame retardant in the preparation of paints, sealants, and adhesives to provide fire resistance and viscosity to these materials. It also finds its application as an additive in the production of metalworking fluids and lubricants. They improve the performance of these fluids under the conditions of high temperature and pressure. It is also used as a flame retardant in rubber, plastics, and textiles. It is also utilized as a secondary plasticizer in manufacturing cables, roofing materials, flooring, and other PVC applications to enhance their durability and flexibility.

Feedstock for Chlorinated Paraffin

The feedstock involved in the production of Chlorinated Paraffin is Paraffin Wax. Paraffin wax is a petroleum byproduct. Thus, the price and availability of crude oil directly impacts its production. Fluctuations in crude oil prices can directly influence paraffin wax prices. Changes in refinery output, whether due to economic decisions, maintenance, upgrades, or regulatory changes, affect refinery operations, which further impact the availability of paraffin wax. Additionally, the demand from downstream industries, such as the candle industry, packaging, cosmetics, and others, can also influence pricing and supply levels of paraffin wax. Environmental concerns and regulations regarding emissions and waste from petroleum refineries can also impact paraffin wax production. Variations in shipping costs or disruptions in logistics services further affect the overall cost of sourcing paraffin wax.
 

Market Drivers for Chlorinated Paraffin

The market for Chlorinated Paraffin is predominantly led by its demand as a plasticizer and flame retardant in manufacturing adhesives, paints, and sealants to improve its effectiveness. Its utilization in the plastic, rubber, and textiles industries as a fire retardant due to its ability to enhance fire and heat resistance also fuels its market expansion. Its application as a plasticizer in the production of caulks, paints, and sealants also contributes to its demand in the adhesives and paint & coatings industries. Its usage as a secondary plasticizer in manufacturing various PVC products, such as cables, vinyl flooring, etc., further enhances its demand in the polymer and plastic industries. Its involvement as an additive in metalworking fluids to promote its functional properties further boosts its demand in the manufacturing and metalworking industries.

Overall, industrial Chlorinated Paraffin procurement is primarily affected by various factors that further affect its production, distribution, and application in different industries. Chlorinated paraffins are produced by the chlorination of paraffin wax, which is obtained from petroleum refining. Thus, the availability and price fluctuations of these raw materials directly affect its production costs. Regulations regarding environmental and health concerns by the Environmental Protection Agency also restrict the use of certain types of CPs because they are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to aquatic life. Thus, compliance with these regulations can lead to additional costs and influence procurement strategies.

The CAPEX in the production of chlorinated paraffin mainly involves the initial costs associated with setting up the manufacturing plant and buying and installing machinery. It also includes the expenses for automation and control systems to enhance production efficiency and ensure safety. The equipment involved in acetyl chloride production is a Wax melter jacketed vessel, a Lead bundled reactor with chlorine thermo watts, an FRP-lined HCL absorber, and a Chlorine neutralizer with a reduction gearbox. Additionally, the OPEX for chlorinated paraffin production includes ongoing expenses such as the cost of raw materials (paraffin and chlorine), utilities, salary benefits, and regular servicing of equipment and facilities.
 

Manufacturing Processes

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Chlorinated Paraffin manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Chlorinated Paraffin manufacturing.

• Production from Paraffin Wax: The feedstock required for this process includes paraffin wax.

This method of production involves the synthesis of chlorinated paraffin by using paraffin wax and chlorine gas. The process is initiated by the melting of paraffin wax at 100°C, followed by its reaction with dry chlorine gas to produce chlorinated paraffin as the final product.
 

Properties of Chlorinated Paraffin

Chlorinated paraffin is a group of synthetic compounds that constitutes short-chain chlorinated hydrocarbons. They are produced by chlorinating n-paraffin or paraffin wax, which produces various compounds with variable degrees of chlorination. It appears as a yellowish liquid or waxy solid with a characteristic odor. They do not dissolve in water but are readily soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, toluene, and xylene. The densities of the compound range from 1.2 to 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter. They have a high boiling point that ranges around 350 to 450°C. They are stable under normal environmental conditions but get easily degraded by heat, light, or strong acids.
