Detailed Project Report on chlorinated paraffin wax (cpw)

CHLORINATED PARAFFIN WAX (CPW)
[CODE NO. 3013]  

CPWs are chlorinated normal-alkanes with carbon chain lengths of between 10 and 30 carbon atoms and chlorinated to 40% to 70% by weight.

General formula for Chlorinated ParaffinsCxH(2x-y+2)Cly

Chlorinated paraffins (CPW) are made by chlorinating the paraffin fractions obtained from petroleum distillation. The paraffins are reacted with chlorine, resulting in chlorinated paraffins with varying degree of chlorination.

     Chlorinated paraffins are classified as chlorinated hydrocarbons that have the general formula [CnH(2n-y)+2]  cly. They were first prepared in 1858 by P.A  Bolley. Significant commercial use of chlorinated paraffin did not develop until  the early  1930,  when they were first used for fire retardant and waterproof canvas material and in the material working  industry as  extreme  pressure  additives for lubricating oils.  The raw materials  used for chlorination consists of petroleum  fractions such as normal paraffin { at least 98% Linear and wax  freestones averaging as many as twenty from carbon atoms. There are a number of raw materials available however. These used for the production of Chlorinated paraffin’s fall into three categories:-

     1.    a   C12  fraction  that  normally   includes    C9-C12 hydrocarbons

     2.     a  C15  fractions  that  normally  includes   c13-C17 hydrocarbons.

     3.    a C24 fraction normally includes C20--30  hydrocarbon. The selection of a particular raw materials is dependent on the properties of the finished chlorinated paraffin. In metal contaminations are kept low as economically feasible since their presence results in products with Undesirable properties.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

     Commercial chlorinated paraffins have20-70% chlorine content. The bulk of the manufactured product fall with in the 40-70% cl  range. Table I contains a list  of   commercial chlorinated paraffins.. The important physical properties of the chlorinated paraffins include viscosity, solubility, Colour & thermal instability. For a given paraffin, increasing chlorine content enhances viscosity and specific gravity.

 
     Chlorinated paraffins are miscible with many organic solvents such as aliphatic, aromatic, and terpene hydrocarbon, chlorinated  aliphatic  and aromatic  hydrocarbons,  hydrogenated napthas  and ketons, esters and drying oils. They are  insoluble  in  water, glycerol and the glycols. Water emulsions can be  made with the use of proper emulsifying agents.


     Chlorinated paraffins are relatively inert materials. Prolonged  exposure to heat  or light   can cause dehydrochlorination. Depending upon Condition of exporoure, this can occur rapidly causing a darkening of the material.  The presence of aluminium, Zinc and iron will catalyze  the  dehydro chlorination.

     Stabilizers are normally added for storage purposes. Special or higher amounts of  stabiliser may  be used  if  conditions warrant. Common stabilizers used  are  unaligned epoxidized soyabean oils, penta erythritol, Organomettallic tin compounds or certain lead or cadmium compounds.


     Water emulsions can be made with the use of proper emulsifying agents.
