Paraffin Wax, or in other relevant terms Macrocrystalline wax, is a petroleum wax made from deoiled slack wax, which is derived by dewaxing base distillate lube oil streams of
predominantly straight chain alkanes. Paraffin wax is brittle and has a low melting point between 46 and 71 degrees Centigrade. Paraffin waxes impart high resistance to moisture. Due to
their low cost, paraffins are frequently added to other wax blends. Paraffin wax is an important and a heavy compound with regard to its extensive use in various industries and in further
chemical process of making other types of waxes. Having qualities like high resistance, brittle and a low melting point this petroleum wax has a high content of saturated
hydrocarbons. |
