Chlorinated paraffin Wax
Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (CPW) is a versatile chemical product primarily used as a plasticizer and flame retardant. It is a clear or pale yellow viscous liquid, although some grades can also appear as waxy solids depending on their chlorination level and chain length.
Chlorinated paraffin wax, especially short-chain variants, has been subject to regulatory scrutiny due to concerns about its environmental persistence and potential toxicity to aquatic life. Proper handling and disposal are essential to minimize environmental impact.
Chemway is one of the Chlorinated paraffin Wax ,manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers in Fujairah, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Kuwait, Muscat, Dubai UAE.
