What is the difference between ordinary paraffin and chlorinated paraffin?

The difference between chlorinated paraffin and paraffin is that chlorinated paraffin is a chlorinated derivative of paraffin hydrocarbons, and their uses are different. Chlorinated paraffin is a chlorinated derivative of paraffin hydrocarbon, which has the advantages of low volatility, flame retardancy, good electrical insulation, and low price. It can be used as a flame retardant and an auxiliary plasticizer for PVC. Widely used in the production of cable materials, floor materials, hoses, artificial leather, rubber and other products. And additives used in coatings, plastic runways, lubricants, etc.

Paraffin is a mixture of hydrocarbons extracted from certain distillates of petroleum, shale oil or other bituminous mineral oils. The main component is solid alkanes, odorless and tasteless, white or light yellow translucent solid.

Coarse paraffin is mainly used for making matches, fiberboard, tarpaulin, etc. due to its high oil content. After adding polyolefin additives to paraffin wax, its melting point increases, adhesion and flexibility increase, and it is widely used in moisture-proof and waterproof packaging paper, paperboard, surface coating of certain textiles and candle production.

After immersing the paper in paraffin, a variety of wax paper with good waterproof performance can be prepared, which can be used in food, pharmaceutical and other packaging, metal rust prevention and printing industry; paraffin added to cotton yarn can make the textile soft, smooth and elastic ; Paraffin can also be made into detergents, emulsifiers, dispersants, plasticizers, greases, etc.

Fully refined paraffin and semi-refined paraffin are widely used, mainly used as components and packaging materials for food, oral medicines and certain commodities (such as wax paper, crayons, candles, carbon paper), coating materials for baking containers, for fruit preservation , Insulation of electrical components, improve rubber aging resistance and increase flexibility. It can also be used to oxidize synthetic fatty acids.

GB 2760-96 stipulates that it is allowed to be used as gum base, with a limit of 50.0g / kg. It is also used for anti-sticking of glutinous rice paper production abroad, the dosage is 6g / kg. In addition, it is also widely used in moisture-proof, anti-stick and oil-proof of food packaging materials. Suitable for food chewing gum, bubble gum and pharmaceutical gold oil and other components as well as heat carrier, demolding, tableting, polishing and other waxes that directly contact food and drugs Method).
