Chlorinated Paraffin Definition
A yellowish, odorless, viscous, oily carcinogenic chlorinated hydrocarbon. Chlorinated paraffin is used as an extreme pressure lubricant, flame retardant and plasticizer. Chlorinated paraffins, with chain lengths of C12 and chlorine contents of 60%, are reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens based on evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. (NCI05)
