Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffin Detection
topic
Short chain chlorinated paraffin (SCCP, C10-C13) analysis in textile coatings and softening finishes uses GC-ECNI-MS or comprehensive GCxGC-ToF-MS to characterise the complex mixture of chlorinated alkane congeners, comparing total SCCP concentrations against the REACH Annex XVII limit of 1% by weight in textile articles and preparations.
Role
Addresses the use of SCCP as combined plasticiser and flame retardant in PVC-coated fabrics and chlorinated paraffin-based fabric softeners, quantifying this persistent aquatic toxin and potential carcinogen to ensure compliance with EU restrictions and identify substitution opportunities with less hazardous alternatives.
