Uses for Types of paraffin wax

It is the most important role of paraffin for various industrial production, because the oil content in pressure is relatively high, it can be used to make matches or tarpaulins. In industrial production, paraffin wax will also add an appropriate amount of polyolefin additives.

This will increase the melting point of the edible wax and increase its flexibility. The packaging paper and cardboard produced with such paraffin wax are moisture-proof and waterproof.

Paraffin wax can also be used in the production of various food packaging papers in daily life. The paper for packaging food is embedded in the top ten, and the waterproofness of the paper can be increased in the future, and the wax paper used for packaging food can be obtained.

Packaged food and moisture protection can also prevent the loss of flavor of the food, which will increase the shelf life of the food.

Paraffin wax is often used in textile processing, because after adding cotton yarn into paraffin wax, the flexibility of cotton yarn can be enhanced. Textiles made of such cotton yarn will be particularly soft, smooth, elastic and look special. On the grade, such textiles have a high pass rate and are not prone to quality problems.

Paraffin also has a strong thermal energy storage function, its stability is particularly good, and there is no supercooling phenomenon, and it is widely used in the production of high-tech products such as aviation, aerospace, microelectronics and optoelectronics.

In the production and processing of various products such as chewing gum and bubble gum, as well as pharmaceutical gold oil, these products are essential additives during processing.

Through the above introduction to the efficacy and role of paraffin, you can know that paraffin has a wide range of uses, and has different effects and effects, but it cannot be used for human consumption. You must use it correctly in your daily life and avoid taking it blindly.

Paraffin waxes can be classified in a number of ways. The main classification methods are melting point classification, oil content classification, application classification and color classification.
The melting point classification is based on the melting point of paraffin wax. Paraffin waxes whose melting point is lower than 45°C are called soft waxes. The melting point is between 45 and 60 °C. Hard wax is divided into fully refined wax, semi-refined wax, and crude paraffin wax.
According to the refining degree of paraffin wax, paraffin wax can be divided into crude paraffin wax, semi-refined wax, fully refined wax and food wax. The deeper the degree of refinement, the lighter its color, and the better the product quality, but the higher the production cost.
According to the appearance of paraffin wax, paraffin wax can be divided into liquid wax and solid wax.
According to the level of oil content of paraffin wax, fully refined paraffin wax is divided into superior grade and first grade. Generally speaking, paraffin wax with oil content greater than 6% is called oil wax.
According to the difference in the crystal structure of paraffin wax, paraffin wax can be divided into macrocrystalline paraffin wax and microcrystalline wax. Microcrystalline wax is mostly used as an additive in handmade scented candles.
P.S. Polyethylene wax is also a kind of paraffin wax, which is mostly used as an additive. (AC-6)
The difference and use of each melting point of paraffin wax:
High Melting Point: This wax is ideal for cylindrical candles, hand-dipped fine candles, molded candles, shaped or engraved gift candles. This wax is very hard and does not retain its fragrance and has a melting point of 63°C. This type of wax is needed to make the above types of wax so that the candle doesn’t sag on its own as it cools. If you make candles with this wax, you need to use additives.
Medium melting point: This wax is commonly used to make prayer candles and sometimes container candles, and has a melting point of 53-63°C. This wax is harder to the touch than a low melting point wax, but retains its shape better. This wax is better in terms of fragrance retention, but requires the use of additives. This type of wax is blocky and needs to be cut into small pieces to melt.
Low melting point: This type of wax melts at a temperature of 53 °C. Soft wax is an ideal material for making container candles, and has the characteristics of lasting fragrance until the candle is burned out. Soft wax has strong flexibility. No additives are required. Softer paraffin waxes have many advantages, however, they are more difficult to process and emit more fumes than other waxes.
