Paraffin Wax, Odor : Odorless Or Slightly Waxy

Alias solid paraffin wax; mineral wax
english name paraffin wax; hard paraffin
general cnh2n + 2 solid alkane kind of mixture, molecular weight range from 360 to 540.
Nature from the oil paraffin produced solid crystal products, it by a variety of hydrocarbons, mainly is paraffin composition, still contain isomerization alkane, cycloparafin hydrocarbon and a small amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Goods of paraffin carbon atoms for 22 ~ 36 number commonly. Boiling point range from 300 to 550 degrees celsius. With the molecular weight of paraffin wax, boiling point, increased the melting point, composed of normal alkanes reduced and isomerization alkane is increasing.
Pure wax for white, odourless tasteless, with impurity of paraffin wax as the yellow. Paraffin wax not soluble in water, alcohol and solubility in the low testosterone, easily soluble in carbon tetrachloride, ethyl ether, chloroform, benzene, petroleum ether, carbon disulfide, all kinds of mineral oil and most of the vegetable oil. The melting point of paraffin wax, the higher the smaller the solubility. Paraffin wax chemical properties is stable, not easy and alkali kind, inorganic acid and luzu elements play a role. In paraffin wax hot melt, encounter high fever is burning decomposition.
Use used for making candles, crayons, wax paper, telecommunications equipment, and the general shoeshine and other light chemical raw materials. Fine ash used for high frequency porcelain, carbon, tiebi wax paper, coldfrost and rouge, eyebrow pencil and cosmetics. Yellow wax used in rubber products, matches, candles, chipboard and general industrial materials. Use in the printing ink, the main improve ink film wear resistance and slippery shuangxing, its delicate tasting have subtle crystal structure, known as microcrystalline wax, used for the ink has a better effect.
