Paraffin Wax

Product Description Of Paraffin Wax

Paraffin wax is a hydrocarbon mixture extracted from certain distillates of petroleum, shale oil, or other asphaltic mineral oils, with its main components being solid alkanes.

Product Characteristics Of Paraffin Wax

Paraffin wax is commonly a white, odorless waxy solid with a melting point ranging from 48°C to 64°C and a density of approximately 0.9 g/cm³. It possesses good chemical stability, excellent water repellency, and electrical insulation properties. Additionally, it is insoluble in water but soluble in non-polar organic solvents.
Based on the degree of refining and processing, paraffin wax can be classified into three types: fully refined paraffin wax, semi-refined paraffin wax, and crude paraffin wax. Each type is further categorized into different grades according to its melting point, generally with a 2°C interval, such as grades 52, 54, 56, 58, and so on.

Application Area Of Paraffin Wax

Paraffin wax finds applications across diverse industries, including candles, food packaging (as a coating agent), cosmetics, waterproofing materials, electrical insulation, and as a lubricant or release agent in manufacturing processes.

Packing Of Paraffin Wax

There are two packing for paraffin :bag packing for 10 sheets per bag,50kgs/bag;carton packing for 5 sheets per carton,25kgs/carton.The quality of paraffin is the same in both bags and cartons.

Storage location: The storage location should be a dry area to prevent any moisture accumulation. The temperature should be below 100°F (38°C) to avoid melting or deterioration of the wax’s quality.
Avoid storing in contact with chemicals: Paraffin should not be stored near chemicals or other products that may release fumes or gases. This could result in contamination and reduce its quality.
