Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins SCCP

Short-chained chlorinated paraffins (SCCP) are those with a chain length of C10-C13. EU Regulation 1907/2006 [12] restricts the marketing and sale of SCCP in preparations to a maximum of 1%. SCCP were mainly in the past used as fatliquors, but other alternatives are available in the market. The use of SCCP is also restricted by many eco-labels and RSL.

For a technical short chain chlorinated paraffin (SCCP) mixture containing 60% chlorine by weight, the theoretical number of congeners (defined as constitutional isomers and homologues) is 4,200 [11, 16]. It should be noted that the complexity would actually be an order of magnitude greater than that indicated in Table 1 because chlorine substitution at a secondary carbon atom usually produces a chiral carbon atom so that enantiomers and diastereoisomers would be generated. 

Based on the large number of congeners present in CP mixtures and in environmental samples, it is not too surprising that the analysis of CPs can be quite challenging. In fact, Coquery et al. (2005) described the short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) as the most challenging group of substances to analyze and quantify [17].

In Japan, no regulation for short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) had been implemented and SCCPs are not included in the list of designated chemical substances for the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (PRTR). Risk assessment of SCCPs, which was performed in Europe, the U.S, Canada, and Australia, was not conducted in Japan, and the releases of SCCPs into the environment, which can be obtained from the Toxics Release Inventory (TRl) in the U.S., are not available.

Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are used in the textile industry as flame retardants and finishing agents for leather and textiles. They are highly toxie to aquatie organisms, do not readily break down in the enviromnent and have a high potential to accumulate in living organisms. Their use has been restrieted in some applications in the EU since 2004.
