Essentials for the Petroleum and Petrochemical Industry
La cera de parafina clorada (Chlorinated Paraffin Wax, CPW) es una mezcla compleja de parafina y alcanos n-policlorados. Se produce haciendo pasar gas de cloro a través de cera fundida hasta que reacciona con la cantidad de cloro deseada. El contenido de cloro de la CPW puede variar entre 10% y 70% o más.
La CPW puede ser un líquido viscoso de color pálido a amarillo o un sólido resinoso blando o quebradizo, dependiendo del contenido de cloro. Es prácticamente insoluble en agua, alcoholes inferiores, glicerol y glicoles, pero soluble en solventes clorados, hidrocarburos aromáticos, cetonas, ésteres, éteres, aceites minerales y algunos aceites de corte.
La CPW tiene muchos usos, como:
⦁ Retardante de llama
⦁ Plastificante
⦁ Producción de materiales para cables, pisos, paneles, zapatos, caucho y otros productos
⦁ Recubrimientos y aditivos para aceites lubricantes
