Kunlun 64# Melting Point Fully Refined Paraffin Wax

Paraffin wax

The melting point of paraffin wax is an important indicator for judging the brand name of paraffin wax. For example, the melting point of No. 50 paraffin wax should not be lower than 50°C. The melting point of paraffin is also important for practical applications. Hard wax with a melting point of not lower than 52°C is suitable for making candles. If you use paraffin wax with a melting point lower than 52°C to make candles, it will become soft and curved in hot weather and will stick to each other. However, for paraffin wax used to make matches, you only need to use paraffin wax with a low melting point because it is used for soaking. Matchstick, which makes the matchstick easy to burn.

1. The main composition of paraffin

Paraffin wax is mainly composed of normal (straight chain) alkanes above C15, and also contains a small amount of isoparaffins or cycloalkanes with long side chains.

2. The melting point of paraffin

The melting point of paraffin wax is a main indicator for judging the grade of paraffin wax. For example, the melting point of No. 58 paraffin wax should not be lower than 58°C and not higher than 60°C.

3. The stability of paraffin wax

Stability is divided into light stability and thermal stability.

Petroleum wax should have good thermal stability and light stability. Otherwise, if it is exposed to hot air or direct sunlight for a long time, the paraffin wax will gradually oxidize and deteriorate, the color will become darker, and even the odor will become stronger.

Fully refined and semi refined paraffin wax is used widely, mainly used as candles,board,plastics,rubber and other commodity(like waxed paper ,crayons,candles,carbon paper) of the component and packing materials, baking container with dressing, used for electrical components, insulation rubber aging resistance and increased flexibility, etc.
