Process Method In one word
Chlorinated paraffin is manufactured by chlorination of paraffins, in a batch process. Measured quantity of Paraffin is taken from storage tank reactor. Chlorine gas is sparged through paraffin in reactor. As the reaction between Chlorine and Paraffin is exothermic, cooling water is circulated through reactor jacket to take away the heat to maintain the reaction temperature.
