Hordaresin NP-70 is a solid, 70% chlorinated paraffin which is used in a variety of applications including paints, coatings, rubber, adhesives, polyolefins, textiles & fabrics. Hordaresin NP-70 is used primarily as a flame retardant and shows excellent synergies with antimony trioxide. Additionally, ancillary improvements in various grades of rubber have been seen with improvements in both tensile and tear properties. In polyolefins, Hordaresin NP-70 is generally recommended for use in standard grades of low-density polyethylene. In mineral filled polypropylene composites, Hordaresin NP-70 has been used as a coupling agent.

Hordaresin NP-70 is particularly suited for use with alkyd resins. When used in alkyd resin paints, it offers good gloss and retention, rapid surface drying, good adhesion and weathering resistance, and excellent water resistance. It is used in a variety of paint, coatings and adhesives applications, including chlorinated rubber, non-skid paints, intumescent flame retardant paints, and as a low cost resin extender in traffic paints to additionally improve adhesion, water, oil, gas and chemical resistance. Hordaresin NP-70 is an excellent low-cost halogen source for flame retarding textiles
and fabrics. The products are essentially non-toxic, provide good durability and stability, and impart water resistance.

Hordaresin NP-70 is soluble in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons and esters. Cloudy solutions are seen when working with petroleum hydrocarbon solvents at low temperatures, but the films dry clear.
