Product Description

Product Introduction

Paraffin wax is a white or colorless, odorless, tasteless solid with a waxy texture. It is a mixture of saturated hydrocarbons, mainly straight-chain alkanes, typically containing 20 - 40 carbon atoms.

 

Paraffin wax is primarily derived from petroleum refining. During the refining process, after crude oil is fractionally distilled, the paraffin - containing fractions are further processed through steps like dewaxing. The dewaxing process separates the wax from other petroleum components, resulting in paraffin wax with different properties depending on the processing conditions.

 

It has relatively low reactivity under normal conditions and has a characteristic melting point range that varies based on its composition and grade. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, toluene, and diethyl ether.

Product Application

• Candle - making: One of the most well - known applications of paraffin wax. It is the primary ingredient in most traditional candles, providing a stable burn, good moldability, and a wide range of melting points to suit different candle - making requirements. Different additives can be mixed with paraffin wax to enhance color, fragrance, and burning properties.
• Food Industry: Used as a coating for fruits and vegetables to prevent moisture loss, extend shelf life, and improve appearance. It is also used in the production of chewing gum as a texturizer and in food - grade packaging materials to provide a moisture - barrier layer.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care: Found in products like lip balms, body lotions, and hair - styling products. It helps to thicken formulations, improve texture, and provide a smooth, emollient feel. Paraffin wax is also used in paraffin wax treatments for the hands and feet in spas, where it is melted and applied to the skin to moisturize and soothe.
• Rubber Industry: Added to rubber compounds as a processing aid. It helps to improve the flow properties of rubber during manufacturing, reduce friction between rubber and processing equipment, and can also act as a softener to enhance the flexibility of rubber products.
• Electrical Industry: Used as an insulating material in some electrical components. It can be applied as a coating or incorporated into insulating compounds to prevent electrical conduction and protect components from moisture and environmental damage.
• Packaging Industry: Applied as a coating on paper and cardboard to make them water - resistant. It is also used in the production of heat - sealable packaging materials, providing a reliable seal to keep products fresh and protected.
