Product Description:Paraffin wax, also Commonly called 'paraffin', is a colourless or white, tasteless, odourless, translucent waxy solid. Paraffin wax has a typical melting point between about 46°C and 68°C. Pure paraffin wax is a combustible substance and insoluble in water but soluble in petroleum solvents and stable under normal conditions of use. Paraffin has been identified as an excellent electrical insulator. It is also used in the manufacturing of paraffin papers, candles, food packaging materials, varnishes, floor polishes, to extract perfumes from flowers, in lubricants, and cosmetics. It is also used in water-proofing wood, and cork.
Paraffin wax is made from natural crude oil,available in white slab and granule,odorless without physical impurity, water and additives. Having superior properties of penetration,adhesiveness, moisture resistance as well as insulativity.

PARAFFIN WAX
Paraffin wax is a kind of petroleum processing products, mineral wax and petroleum wax. It is a kind of flake or needle like crystal which is obtained from the crude oil distillation by solvent refining, solvent dewaxing or wax freezing crystallization and pressing dewaxing. It is used for making high-grade fatty acid, high-grade alcohol, match, candle, waterproof agent, ointment, electrical insulating material, etc
Fully refined paraffin wax
Fully refined paraffin wax is widely used, mainly for food, oral medicine and some products (such as wax paper, crayons, candles, carbon paper) components and packaging materials, baking container coating, used for fruit preservation, electrical components insulation, improve rubber anti-aging and flexibility.
Strength& Applications
Paraffin wax, as a kind of latent energy storage material, has the advantages of large latent heat of phase change, small volume change of solid-liquid phase change process, good thermal stability, no supercooling phenomenon and low price. With the development of aviation, aerospace, microelectronics and Optoelectronics Technology, it is often required that a large amount of heat dissipation generated by high-power components can only be dissipated in a limited heat dissipation area and a very short time, while the low melting point phase change materials can reach the melting point relatively quickly compared with the high melting point phase change materials, making full use of the latent heat to achieve temperature control, and the thermal response time is relatively short, which is due to many advantages of paraffin. Aerospace, microelectronics and other high-tech systems, as well as housing energy saving and other fields have been widely used
Applications:
Crude paraffin contains more oil, mainly used in the manufacture of matches, fiberboard, canvas and so on.
Fully refined paraffin wax and semi refined paraffin wax is widely used, mainly used for food and other commodities of components and packing materials, baking container with dressing, cosmetics raw materials, used for fruit preservation, improve rubber insulation aging resistance and increase flexibility, electrical apparatus, precision casting, stylus, waxed paper, crayons, candles, carbon paper, etc.
