Hordaresin CH 171 F is our highest quality solid chlorinated paraffin which is used in a variety of applications including paints, coatings, rubber, adhesives, polyolefins, textiles & fabrics. It is used primarily as a flame retardant and shows excellent synergy 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 CH 171 F is generally recommended for use in standard grades of low-density polyethylene. In mineral filled polypropylene composites, Hordaresin CH 171 F has been used as a coupling agent.

Hordaresin CH 171 F 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 CH 171 F is an excellent halogen source for flame retarding
textiles and fabrics. The products are essentially non-toxic, provide good durability and stability, and impart water resistance.

Hordaresin CH 171 F 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.
