What is paraffin wax?
A white wax that is solid at room temperature. This wax has a carbon number distribution of about 20 to 40 and a molecular weight of about 300 to 550. It is composed mainly of straight chain hydrocarbons (normal paraffins). We have a wide variety of products across different types with finely-categorized melting points created using our original manufacturing process that combines the multi-stage press sweating method and the solvent deoiling method.
How to use
Representative applications of paraffin wax include candles and paper product processing. The former is an application that wonderfully combines the properties of wax, such as its solid state at room temperature, low melt viscosity, and good flammability, while the latter is used to provide various functions such as moisture proofing, waterproofing, fragrance retention, gloss, and lubrication. There are a variety of other applications including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electrical uses, rubber, adhesives, lubricants, oxidized paraffin, chlorinated paraffin, matches, ink, stationery, agriculture and forestry uses, carving/modeling and casting arts and crafts, spinning use, leather, glazing, neutron moderating, and ceramic molding. Each of these applications utilizes the unique properties of wax.
