Required quantity of paraffin or paraffin wax is taken from storage tank into heating tank and heated up to required temperature, and then charged into reaction vessel. Chlorine gas is bubbled through paraffin. As the reaction is exothermic, the cooling water is circulated through reactor jacket to maintain the temperature. The by-producthcl is generated during the reaction, passes through water scrubber to make 30% HCl. If any unreacted chlorine gas coming from the process it is taken into alkali scrubber to make 10 % sodium hypochlorite. The chlorination process is continuing till the desired specific gravity/chlorine content achieved. Once this achieved, chlorination is stop and residual gases of Hydrogen Chloride is remove by purging of compressed air. Page 30

31 Meridian Chem Bond Pvt. Ltd. Chlorinated paraffin wax contained 30-70% chlorine is largely inert and almost insoluble in water. Most commercial chlorinated paraffin product is liquid and range from relatively low to very high viscosity. There are also solid types, usually content 70-72% chlorine. Increasing the chlorine content, results in products with higher viscosity, specific gravity.
