    Chlorinated paraffins. Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are complex mixtures of polychlorinated n -alkanes (paraffin wax). The chlorination degree of CPs can vary between 30 and 70 wt%. CPs are subdivided according to their carbon chain length into short-chain CPs (SCCPs, C 10–13), medium-chain CPs (MCCPs, C 14–17) and long-chain CPs (LCCPs, C>17).
