Products in Paraffin

Paraffin typically refers to a white, odorless, waxy substance derived from petroleum, coal, or shale oil. It’s commonly used in candles, wax paper, lubricants, and as a sealing agent. Additionally, it’s used in medical procedures, such as paraffin wax baths for treating conditions like arthritis.
Technically, paraffin is a mixture of straight-chain hydrocarbons, primarily consisting of saturated alkanes. These alkanes typically have between 20 to 40 carbon atoms per molecule. Paraffin wax is solid at room temperature and has a melting point ranging from about 46 to 68 degrees Celsius (115 to 154 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the specific composition.
The production process involves refining crude oil through distillation and then further refining through processes like solvent extraction and crystallization. Paraffin wax is separated from other components of crude oil based on its melting point and molecular weight.
Due to its chemical structure and properties, paraffin wax has a variety of applications, including as a component in candles, as a waterproofing agent, in the production of polishes and cosmetics, as a lubricant, and in various industrial processes. Its versatility and low cost make it a widely used material in many industries.
