Other functions of paraffin

In addition to making candles, paraffin wax has also won many other types of work for itself due to its own characteristics, such as waterproof work, so it is usually used in the production of density fiberboard.It plays a very important role in the waterproofness of the board.

Where is the main producer of paraffin wax?

Because the raw materials of paraffin wax are targeted, the producing countries that usually produce paraffin wax are also relative, and its producing countries tend to be those rich in these raw materials. For example, Egypt and China are of course also, in addition, the United States and India also have their own paraffin wax production. However, as a mineral-rich China, the production of paraffin wax is definitely one of the largest in the world.

What is the paraffin wax type?

There are also different types of paraffin wax produced, and different standards have different classification methods. In terms of oil content, the lower the oil content, the better the quality for candles. This is called fully refined paraffin, and the oil content is usually below 0.8%. In addition to semi-refined paraffin and crude wax, these The oil content will be higher.
