Chlorinated Paraffins Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (SCCPs (C10-13), MCCPs (C14-17), LCCPs (C18-30)), By Application (Lubricating Additives, Plastics, Rubber, Paints, Adhesives & Sealants, Others) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Chlorinated Paraffins are commercially manufactured by the chlorination of the straight-chain hydrocarbons. They are classified on the basis of the length of carbon chain in their structure as well as the percentage of chlorine content (by weight). They find wide range of applications in various industries such as plastics, metal working, rubber, paints, adhesives & sealants and others.           

On the basis of type, chlorinated paraffins market is segmented into short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs), medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs), and long-chain chlorinated paraffins (LCCPs). On the basis of application, chlorinated paraffins market is segmented into lubricating additives, plastics, rubber, paints, adhesives & sealants, and others.

From a geographical standpoint, the market is categorised into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

Key market Drivers- Chlorinated Paraffins are prominently consumed in flexible PVC in conjunction with primary plasticizers such as DINP, DOP, etc. High chlorine content grades are used as flame retarders in various types of rubber & polymers. With the increasing demand of PVC, the consumption of Chlorinated Paraffins is also expected to increase over the forecast period. Also, Chlorinated Paraffins are used as additives in metalworking oils & lubricants that contribute significantly to the Chlorinated Paraffins demand.                         

Key market restraints- Chlorinated Paraffins is subjected to various environmental regulations across the world, restricting its use. For instance, in Europe, Europe Union found that release of SCCPs in environment poses a major threat to the aquatic ecosystem and thus has imposed marketing and use restriction on SCCPs in metalworking and leather finishing applications. In the United States, there are no restrictions on the manufacturing, processing or use of Chlorinated Paraffins except the report obligations on SCCPs. Under Toxic release inventory (TRI) regulations facilities manufacturing or processing bulk quantities (25,000 pounds or more) of SCCPs or facilities using 10,000 pounds or more SCCPS are required to file EPA, an annual estimate of the environmental releases.     

Key Players Covered:

The global Chlorinated Paraffins market is fairly fragmented with number of global & regional players operating in the market.
