Paraffin Wax

Item No: PPFS-PPFL-PPFG


Paraffin wax is a type of wax derived from petroleum. It is a colorless, odorless solid substance that has a low melting point, typically between 46 and 68 degrees Celsius (115- and 154-degrees Fahrenheit). Paraffin wax is composed mainly of long-chain hydrocarbons, specifically alkanes.

Paraffin wax is commonly used for a variety of purposes due to its desirable properties. It has a relatively low heat conductivity, which means it can retain heat for extended periods. This property makes it useful for applications such as candle-making, where paraffin wax is melted and used as the fuel for the candle's flame.

Applications:

·         Candle-making: Used as fuel for candles, providing steady flame and fragrance.

·         Therapeutic Treatments: Applied as a warm wax for heat therapy, pain relief, and skin moisturization.

·         Polishes and Coatings: Used in furniture polishes, shoe polishes, and coatings for food preservation.

·         Electrical Insulation: Provides heat, moisture, and electrical insulation in electrical components.

·         Packaging and Preservation: Coating material to enhance freshness and shelf life of food products.

·         Cosmetics and Personal Care: Included in lip balms, lotions, creams for moisture retention and skin protection.

·         Paper and Textiles: Coating for paper to improve moisture resistance, and in textiles for conditioning and lubrication.

·         Industrial and Manufacturing Applications: Lubricants, mold release agents, additives in adhesives and sealants, and production of rubber products, crayons, matches, and carbon paper.

Paraffin wax is a versatile hydrocarbon-based wax commonly used in various industries for its low melting point, excellent heat retention, and ability to form smooth and solid coatings.
