Paraffin wax is colorless or white, somewhat translucent, hard wax consisting of a mixture of solid straight-chain hydrocarbons. Paraffin wax is obtained from petroleum by dewaxing light lubricating oil stocks. Paraffin waxes are classified according to oil content, melting point, and the amount of processing put in.
