Chlorinated Paraffin (CP) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- CP
- Chloroparaffin
- Chlorparaffin
Chlorinated paraffin supplier for PVC, coatings, rubber and metalworking buyers in Malaysia. Also called CP or chloroparaffin, it is a complex mixture of polychlorinated n-alkanes supplied as a yellow to amber liquid or, at higher chlorine levels, as a pale solid. Chlorine content is the main buying axis.
Commercial grades are commonly ordered as CP-42, CP-52 and CP-70. CP-42 and CP-52 are liquid grades used as secondary plasticisers and extreme-pressure additives. CP-70 is a higher-chlorine solid grade selected mainly for flame retardancy in plastics, rubber and coatings.
PVC compounders use chlorinated paraffin as a secondary plasticiser and flame retardant. Paint and rubber formulators use similar grades for flexibility and fire performance, while metalworking fluid blenders add liquid CP for heavy-duty cutting and forming.

Chlorinated Paraffin grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CP-42 liquid chlorinated paraffin | yellow to amber viscous liquid | approximately 42% chlorine | Secondary plasticiser in flexible PVC, rubber compounds and coatings where a lower-chlorine liquid grade is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| CP-52 liquid chlorinated paraffin | yellow to amber viscous liquid | approximately 52% chlorine | The common volume grade for PVC secondary plasticising, flame-retardant compounding and extreme-pressure metalworking fluid additives. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| CP-70 solid chlorinated paraffin | pale solid or resinous material | approximately 70% chlorine | Higher-chlorine flame-retardant grade for plastics, rubber, paints and coatings where solid chlorinated paraffin is preferred over liquid oil. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about chlorinated paraffin
What chlorine grades of chlorinated paraffin are commonly supplied?
Buyers typically specify by chlorine content. CP-42 and CP-52 are liquid grades used as secondary plasticisers and metalworking additives. CP-70 is a higher-chlorine solid or resinous grade selected mainly for flame-retardant compounding. State the target chlorine content or grade code in the enquiry.
What is the difference between liquid CP and solid CP-70?
Lower-chlorine grades such as CP-42 and CP-52 are supplied as viscous liquids (sometimes called chlorinated paraffin oil). Higher-chlorine material such as CP-70 is typically solid or resinous and is chosen where a solid flame retardant is preferred. Form follows chlorine content, so confirm the grade against the process and dosing method.
Is chlorinated paraffin used as a PVC plasticiser and flame retardant?
Yes. In flexible PVC and related compounds it is widely used as a secondary plasticiser and as a flame-retardant additive. Suitability depends on the compound recipe, processing conditions and required chlorine grade, so include the application when requesting a quote.
Can chlorinated paraffin be used in metalworking fluids?
Liquid grades are used as extreme-pressure additives in cutting, drawing and forming fluids. Provide the fluid type, chlorine target and any performance limits so the correct grade can be assessed against the requirement.
What details are needed for a chlorinated paraffin price enquiry?
Provide the grade or chlorine content, liquid or solid form, application, quantity and delivery location. List any preferred pack format and document needs so the quotation can address the full requirement.
Can packing and product documents be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. State the preferred pack format and any required product documents in the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial terms are confirmed for the quoted grade.
