Cereclor 42 is a chlorinated paraffin (wax grade) based on a carbon chain length greater than 20. It is a versatile grade used for applications requiring high viscosity and low volatility. Cereclor 42 is used as an extreme pressure (EP) additive in metal working fluids, as a flame retardant additive and as a plasticiser in coatings, sealants, and adhesives.
