Paraffin wax, also known as crystalline wax, is through distillation after solvent refining, solvent dewaxing or by wax freezing crystallization, press dewaxing to make wax paste, and then by solvent deoil or sweat deoil, and supplement refined by flake or needle crystal. According to the different degree of refining, it can be divided into three kinds: full refined paraffin, semi-refined paraffin and crude paraffin. Each type of wax is divided into different varieties according to its melting point.
Paraffin wax for candle makingParaffin wax is a type of wax that is derived from petroleum. It is a white or colorless solid with a waxy texture and is often used in a variety of applications due to its unique properties. Here are some key facts and uses of paraffin wax:
1.Composition: Paraffin wax is primarily composed of long-chain hydrocarbons, specifically alkanes. These hydrocarbons are saturated, meaning they contain only single bonds between carbon atoms.
2.Physical Properties: Paraffin wax has a relatively low melting point, typically between 46°C to 68°C (115°F to 154°F), making it easy to melt and work with. It solidifies at room temperature.
3.Candle Making: One of the most common uses of paraffin wax is in candle making. It is valued for its ability to hold and release fragrance, its smooth texture, and its ability to burn cleanly and evenly.
4.Cosmetic and Skincare: Paraffin wax is often used in spa treatments and skincare products. It can be applied as a warm, liquid wax to hands and feet to moisturize and soften the skin.
5.Industrial Applications: Paraffin wax is used in various industrial applications, such as in the manufacture of crayons,
lubricants, and as a component in the production of certain types of waxed paper and cardboard.
6.Sealing and Insulating: It can be used for sealing purposes, like sealing jars of preserves or cans of food. Additionally,
paraffin wax is an effective electrical insulator.
7.Art and Crafts: Artists and craftsmen use paraffin wax for encaustic painting, a technique where pigmented wax is applied to a surface and then heated to fuse the layers together.
8.Modeling and Sculpting: Some artists and hobbyists use paraffin wax for sculpting and modeling, as it can be molded and carved when heated.

Fully refined paraffin and semi refined paraffin wax are widely used. They are mainly used for food, oral medicine and some products (such as wax paper, crayons, candles, carbon paper) components and packaging materials, coating materials for baking containers, for fruit preservation, insulation of electrical components, improving rubber aging resistance and increasing flexibility, etc.It can also be used for oxidation to produce fatty acids. Crude paraffin with high oil content is mainly used for making matches, fiberboard, awning canvas, etc.1. 50kgs PP bag packing
