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.
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.
It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless wax that is solid at room temperature and has a low melting point . Paraffin Wax is produced by refining crude oil and is used in a wide range of applications, including candles, lubricants, electrical insulation, and cosmetics .
In summary, Paraffin Wax is a versatile and widely used product that is extracted from crude oil. It is available in different types and is used in a wide range of applications, including candles, lubricants, electrical insulation, and cosmetics. The advantages of using Paraffin Wax in the production of candles include its low cost, ease of use, and ability to hold fragrance and color. It is also used as a lubricant in various industries and is an excellent electrical insulator.
Uses: GB2760-96 stipulates that it is allowed to be used as a gum base agent, with a limit of 50.0g/kg. It is also used abroad for anti-sticking in the production of glutinous rice paper, with a dosage of 6g/kg. In addition, it is widely used in moisture-proof, anti-sticking and oil-proof food packaging materials.

Uses: Used in rubber products, tarpaulins, matches, etc. Uses: Used in the production of synthetic fatty acids and higher alcohols, and also used in the manufacture of matches, candles, wax paper, waterproofing agents, ointments, etc. Uses: Used in crayons, wax paper, telecommunications equipment, light industry and chemical raw materials, wax model crafts, etc. Uses: Used as a cosmetic raw material, and also used in capacitors, electronic components, leather shoe polish, etc. Uses: White paraffin is mainly used as candles, crayons, wax paper, matches, general telecommunications equipment, rubber products, chemical books, polishing pastes and other chemical raw materials. Fine paraffin is suitable for the production of high-frequency porcelain, carbon paper, stylus wax paper, cold cream and other products and precision casting. Food paraffin is suitable for use as a component of food and oral medicines, as well as for demoulding, tableting, and polishing. Food paraffin is suitable for coating and impregnation of solvents and packaging materials that come into contact with food. Uses GB2760-96 stipulates that it is allowed to be used as a gum base with a limit of 50.0g/kg. It is also used abroad for anti-sticking in the production of glutinous rice paper, with a dosage of 6g/kg. In addition, it is widely used in moisture-proof, anti-sticking and oil-proof food packaging materials. It is suitable for use as a component of food chewing gum, bubble gum, and drug gold oil, as well as heat carriers, demoulding, tableting, polishing, and other waxes that directly contact food and medicines. The wax is made from the waxy fraction of petroleum or shale oil through cold pressing and other methods.

Paraffin wax 58-60 refers to a specific type of paraffin wax with a melting point that falls within the range of 58 to 60 degrees Celsius (136 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit).
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.
