Paraffin from certain petroleum, shale oil or other bituminous mineral oil distillate extracted from a hydrocarbon mixture, the main ingredient is solid paraffin, odorless and tasteless, white or light yellow translucent solid. Paraffin is amorphous, but with significant crystalline structure. Another artificial wax.
Paraffin is a petroleum processing products, is a mineral wax, is a petroleum wax. It is distilled from crude oil fractions by solvent refining, solvent dewaxing or wax by freezing crystallization, squeezing dewaxing prepared paste wax, and then by solvent removal oil refining flake or needle-like crystals. The system for higher fatty acids, higher alcohols, matches, candles, water, ointments, electrical insulating materials.

 

The main purpose

Because crude paraffin oil content more, mainly used in the manufacture of matches, fibreboard, canvas canopies and so on. After adding polyolefin wax additive having a melting point higher adhesion and increased flexibility, it is widely used in moisture-proof, water-proof wrapping paper, cardboard, textiles, and certain surface coating candle production.
Allows the production of a rear paper dipped in paraffin wax paper all kinds of good water resistance, can be used for food, medicine and other packaging, metal rust and printing industry; paraffin after adding cotton yarn, can make textiles soft, smooth, yet flexible ; paraffin may also be prepared detergents, emulsifiers, dispersing agents, plasticizers, grease and the like.
Fully refined and semi-refined paraffin wax is widely used, mainly used as food, oral medicines and certain commodities (such as wax paper, crayons, candles, carbon) components and packaging materials, containers of baking coating material for fresh fruit , electrical components, insulation, aging resistance and improve rubber to increase flexibility and the like. It can also be used for synthesis of fatty acid oxidation.
