Paraffin is mainly composed of solid alkane, odorless and tasteless. It is a white or light yellow translucent solid. Due to its high oil content, it is mainly used to make matches, fiberboard, canvas, etc. When polyolefin additives are added to paraffin wax, its melting point increases and its adhesion and flexibility increase. It is widely used in moisture-proof and waterproof packaging paper, paperboard, surface coating of some textiles and candle production.

In industrial applications, it is often useful to modify the crystal properties of the paraffin wax, typically by adding branching to the existing carbon backbone chain.
Paraffin wax is a translucent soft solid commonly referred to as wax. It is extracted from petroleum and burns readily. Paraffin Wax is used for several purposes. Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid derivable from petroleum, coal or oil shale, that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between twenty and forty carbon atoms. These waxes are categorized by oil content and the degree of refinement. Application: Candle manufacture, wax paper, polishes, cosmetics, electrical insulation assist in extracting perfume from flowers, medical ointment, Pharmacy, Batteries, Paint and varnish removers, waterproof coat for wood, match industry, Corrosion inhibitor, food and chocolate polishing, PVC lubricant. some factories mix paraffin wax 3-5% with 1-1.5% to receive a better quality.

Paraffin waxes in a solid state are usually white, translucent, tasteless and odorless. They are hard, relatively brittle and have a slightly dry feel. In a molten state, paraffin waxes are clear, colorless liquids of low viscosity. When melted, these waxes increase in volume by about 5-8%, resulting in a decrease in density. Paraffin will react at high temperatures with either oxidizing or halogenating agents. This reaction produces either fatty acids and hydroxy acids or halogen substitution products respectively. Although paraffin has many useful characteristics, most commercial applications are based on its resistance to water and vapor and its glossy appearance when polished.
