Chlorinated Paraffins Reference Materials
Chlorinated paraffins are a series of polychlorinated alkanes used in many industrial and commercial processes, generally containing 40% to 70% chlorine. Chlorinated paraffins are new pollutants that are of great concern today, with high production, use and emissions around the world.
CPs are subdivided according to their carbon chain length into short-chain CPs, medium-chain CPs and long-chain CPs.
- Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins: SCCPs, carbon chain length 10~13
- Medium Chain Chlorinated Paraffins: MCCPs, carbon chain length 14~17
- Long Chain Chlorinated Paraffins: LCCPs, carbon chain length 18~30
Studies have shown that the shorter the carbon chain length, the greater the harm to the ecological environment and human health. Short-chain chlorinated paraffins have the basic characteristics of persistent organic Chlorinated Paraffins Reference Materials pollutants (POPs), such as long-distance migration, persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and potential carcinogenicity. They are common organic pollutants that bioaccumulate in humans and animals and amplify step by step in the food chain.
In order to meet the growing market demand for chlorinated paraffin supervision and testing, we have expanded the product line of chlorinated paraffin standards and launched short-chain chlorinated paraffins and related products.
