How is paraffin wax made---On the classification of paraffins

Paraffin wax can be classified in a variety of ways.

The main classification methods include melting point classification, oil content classification, purpose classification and color classification.

  1. The melting point classification is based on the melting point of paraffin wax. Paraffin wax with a melting point below 45°C is called soft wax. The melting point is between 45 and 60°C. Hard wax is divided into fully refined wax, semi-refined wax, crude paraffin wax, and its main brands are 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68 and 70, etc. (brand = melting point). The most popular model sold by Beijing Dongke is 58,60
  2. 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 the color, the better the quality of the product, but the higher the production cost.
  3. According to the appearance of paraffin wax, it can be divided into liquid wax and solid wax.
  4. According to the oil content of paraffin wax, fully refined paraffin wax is divided into top grade and top grade. Generally speaking, the oil content is greater than
    6% paraffin wax is called oily wax.
  5. According to the difference of crystal structure of paraffin wax, paraffin wax can be divided into coarse crystalline wax and microcrystalline wax. Microcrystalline wax is often used as an additive in aromatherapy candles.

How is paraffin wax made---The difference and use of each melting point of paraffin

  1. High melting point: This wax is perfect for cylindrical candles, hand-dipped fine candles, molded candles, shaped or carved gift candles. The wax is too hard to retain its fragrance and has a melting point of 63°C.
    This wax is needed to make the above types of wax so that the candle does not sink on its own as it cools. If you use this wax to make candles, you need to use additives.
  2. Medium melting point: This wax is commonly used for prayer candles, and sometimes for container candles. It has a melting point of 53-63°Co. This wax is harder to the touch than low melting point wax, but holds its shape better. This kind of wax is good for maintaining the flavor, but it requires the use of additives. This type of wax is lumpy and needs to be cut into small pieces to be melted.
  3. Low melting point: This type of wax melts and is soft at 53°C
    Wax is the ideal material for making container candles, and has a long lasting
    Fragrance properties, until the candle burns out, soft wax is very flexible and does not require the use of additives. Softer paraffin wax has many advantages, however, but it is more difficult to process and emits more soot than other waxes.
