CERECLOR Line – INEOS Inovyn
CERECLOR Line – INEOS Inovyn
CERECLOR™ is INEOS Inovyn’s line of mid-chain and long chain chlorinated paraffins. In CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants and Elastomers) and Polyurethane and Polyurea applications, chlorinated paraffins are used for their plasticizing and flame retardant properties. It is used as a secondary plasticiser without affecting physical characteristics of the product. It also imparts flame retardant properties, improves stain resistance and increases resistance to additive extraction from aqueous detergents.

Features & Benefits
In PVC formulations
- CERECLOR™ is a cost effective replacement for other plasticisers used in PVC
- Used as a secondary plasticiser without affecting physical characteristics of the product.
- It imparts flame retardant properties, improves stain resistance & increases resistance to additive extraction from aqueous detergents
In Paints
- As a plasticizer
- CERECLOR™ chlorinated paraffin is insoluble in water and inert to most chemicals. These properties coupled with its extremely low volatility make CERECLOR™ an excellent plasticizer.
- As a fire retardant additive
– Improves flame resistance by acting as a chlorine donor. - Commonly used in paints for industrial steelwork, marine ships/containers and masonry.
In Two-Pack Polysulphide Sealants
- Polysulphide sealants are classified as high performance sealants, with long life expectancy of > 20 years.
- Plasticising with CERECLOR™ enables the production of sealants with excellent chemical and hydrolytic stability and reduces the cost by extending the polymer.
In Two-Pack Hydroxyl Terminated Polybutadiene Sealants
- Plasticizing with CERECLOR™ offers high compatibility with low viscosity.
Properties
Properties of the CERECLOR™ Line
- The longer the chain length, the more viscous and less volatile the product
- The more chlorine added the more vicious and less volatile the product
