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 Wax, A refined and solid wax derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale. Known for its excellent insulation properties and low reactivity, paraffin wax is extensively used in candle making, coating for waxed paper or cloth, and in cosmetics such as cold creams and ointments.

Separated by the melting point, the paraffin wax is usually at 2 C, as in us: 54-56 C, 56-58 C, 58-60 C, 60-62 C, 64-66 C. All types of wax products must withstand cold well for paraffin wax, which means that it does not melt or soften and does not deform at a specific temperature. Depending on the conditions of use, locations and seasons of use, as well as differences in the method of use, commercial paraffin wax is required for a series of different melting levels. Separated by oil knowledge, it can often be divided into: Fully refined paraffin, Semi-refined paraffin, and Crude wax. In addition, paraffin wax needs to be heat resistant, oil resistant and light resistant, otherwise the color will turn yellow after application. Excessive oil exposure impairs the color and stability of the paraffin wax, and also reduces its hardness. The main factors that affect the stability of paraffin wax are its non-hydrocarbon compounds and the low concentration of hydrocarbons.
