Product Description : 

Paraffin wax, also known as petroleum wax, is a soft, colorless solid derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale. It consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules with carbon atoms ranging between 20 and 40. Solid at room temperature, it begins to melt above approximately 37 deg C (99 deg F), with a boiling point above 370 deg C (698 deg F). Common applications include lubrication, electrical insulation, candles, and crayons.

Properties:

Paraffin wax is typically found as a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a melting point ranging between about 46 and 68  deg C (115 and 154  deg F) and a density of around 900 kg/m3. It is insoluble in water but soluble in ether, benzene, and certain esters. Paraffin is largely unaffected by most common chemical reagents but burns readily, with a heat of combustion of 42 MJ/kg.

Additional Uses:

• Candle-making: Paraffin wax is a common choice for candle production due to its ease of use and versatility.
• Wax Carving: Used in various sculpting applications, though softer waxes like beeswax are preferred for intricate work.
• Bicycle Chain Lubrication: Provides effective lubrication for bicycle chains, reducing friction and wear.
• Coatings: Used for waxed paper or cotton coatings, providing moisture repellency and protection.
• Food-Grade Paraffin Wax: Utilized as a shiny coating in candy-making and as a sealant for jars, cans, and bottles. It is also used as a chewing gum additive and as a coating for hard cheeses like Edam.
• Investment Casting: Paraffin-based waxes are crucial in investment casting processes, facilitating the creation of metal castings.
• Anti-caking Agent: Acts as a moisture repellent and dust-binding coating for fertilizers, improving handling and storage properties.
