Short chain chlorinated paraffins SCCP test

What is SCCP short chain chlorinated paraffin?

Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins SCCP English name: Alkanes, C10-13, chloro (Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins)

Short chain chlorinated paraffin SCCP Molecular formula: C10-13

Short chain chlorinated paraffin SCCP CAS number: 85535-84-8

Short chain chlorinated paraffin SCCP EINECS number: 287-476-5

SCCP short-chain chlorinated paraffins can be divided into four types according to chlorine content: 42%, 48%, 50-52%, and 65-70%. The first three are light yellow viscous liquids, and the latter is yellow viscous liquid.

Three types of 42%, 48%, and 50-52% can replace part of the main plasticizers, which not only reduces costs, but also makes the products flame retardant and has good compatibility.

SCCP short chain chlorinated paraffin hazards

SCCP short-chain chlorinated paraffins biological toxicity: affects the immune system and reproductive system.

SCCP short-chain chlorinated paraffins are most widely used in cables and are also commonly used in the manufacture of water pipes, floors, films, artificial leather, plastic products and daily necessities.

65-70% is mainly used as a flame retardant, mixed with antimony trioxide and used in polyethylene, polystyrene, etc. In addition, SCCP short-chain chlorinated paraffins are also used as flame retardants for textiles, rubber and plastics, leather treatment agents, plasticizers for paints and other coatings, and metal processing oil additives.

SCCP short chain chlorinated paraffins restrictions

Short-chain chlorinated paraffins were included in the list of substances of very high concern under the REACH regulation by the European Union in 2009 . According to the requirements of the EU REACH regulations, if the content of short-chain chlorinated paraffins in an article is greater than 0.1% and the annual export volume exceeds 1 ton, it must be declared to the European Chemicals Agency.

The new regulations only restrict short-chain chlorinated paraffin ingredients in metal processing oils and leather treatment products. Key points include:

Metal processing oils and leather fatliquing materials with short-chain chlorinated paraffin SCCP content exceeding 1% shall not be sold in the market.

From January 1, 2003, all use of SCCP short-chain chlorinated paraffins must be assessed by the European Commission for risks to health and the environment.

The guidelines will come into effect immediately after they are published in official EU journals, and member states will adopt them within 18 months after they come into effect. The European Commission will continue to study the risks that SCCP short-chain chlorinated paraffins may pose in other aspects. Products exported to the European market should pass testing to ensure that the products do not contain short-chain chlorinated paraffins SCCP.
