CPW is used widely as a secondary plasticiser in flexible PVC compounds notably cable, footwear, hosing, conveyor belting, coated fabric and profiles. In these applications it can be used to partially replace more expensive primary plasticisers. In compounds with flame-retardant requirements.
An important benefit of CPW is its ability to reduce the unit cost of flexible PVC compounds. Correct reformulation with CHLOR produces PVC compounds with comparable physical properties: – softness or hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break and others, as well as heat aged retention of physical properties.
Textiles for carpets, carpet backing, tarpaulins and tents and Paints can be treated with compositions to induce flame retardancy.
