Global Chlorinated Paraffins Market to Grow at a CAGR of 4.44% During the Period 2016 - 2020; Finds New Report
Market Research Reports, Inc. has announced the addition of “Global Chlorinated Paraffins Market 2016 - 2020” research report to their website www.MarketResearchReports.com
Lewes, DE -- (SBWire) -- 04/25/2016 --Report forecast the global chlorinated paraffins market to grow at a CAGR of 4.44% during the period 2016-2020.
Chlorinated paraffins, also called polychlorinated ns-alkanes, are produced by the chlorination of C10-C30 n-alkanes using molecular chlorine and liquid paraffin or solvents such as carbon tetrachloride. Chlorinated paraffins can also be produced by the chlorination of alpha-olefin.
The production process of chlorinated paraffins is patented by certain companies, including INOVYN. The patents exist for the use of catalysts or additives to prevent contamination, retarding the chlorination. The reaction is dependent on n-alkane and occurs between 122°F and 302°F under high pressures or in the presence of ultraviolet light. The residual chlorine and reaction products are separated from the solvent by gas sparging. Final products are mixtures that are viscous and colorless or yellowish dense oils – except for C20-C30 perchloric acids, which are solid and have a high chlorine content of approximately 70%.
Medium-chain paraffins are the most preferred chlorinated paraffins, in terms of volume consumption, across the target regions. This is attributable to their demand as secondary plasticizers in PVC compounding, which is the biggest end-user segment. It is followed by metal working fluids where short-chain chlorinated paraffins have been replaced by medium-chain variants due to environmental toxicity associated with short-chain chlorinated paraffins.
The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global chlorinated paraffins market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the volume generated through the sales of chlorinated paraffins.
The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
- APAC
- Europe
- North America
- ROW
According to the report, chlorinated paraffin is the most important secondary plasticizer. The compound is used in combination with primary plasticizers such as phthalates in flexible PVC. It also imparts flame retardant properties to PVC; therefore, it has extensive applications in the manufacture of PVC flooring and cables.
Further, the report states that the intensity of toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation of chlorinated paraffins vary according to the chlorine content and chain length. Small- and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins are known to be highly hazardous.
Global Chlorinated Paraffins Market 2016-2020, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
