Paraffin is mainly composed of solid alkane, odorless and tasteless. It is a white or light yellow translucent solid. Due to its high oil content, it is mainly used to make matches, fiberboard, canvas, etc. When polyolefin additives are added to paraffin wax, its melting point increases and its adhesion and flexibility increase. It is widely used in moisture-proof and waterproof packaging paper, paperboard, surface coating of some textiles and candle production.

Separated by the melting point, the paraffin wax is usually at 2 C, as in us: 54-56 C, 56-58 C, 58-60 C, 60-62 C, 64-66 C. All types of wax products must withstand cold well for paraffin wax, which means that it does not melt or soften and does not deform at a specific temperature. Depending on the conditions of use, locations and seasons of use, as well as differences in the method of use, commercial paraffin wax is required for a series of different melting levels. Separated by oil knowledge, it can often be divided into: Fully refined paraffin, Semi-refined paraffin, and Crude wax. In addition, paraffin wax needs to be heat resistant, oil resistant and light resistant, otherwise the color will turn yellow after application. Excessive oil exposure impairs the color and stability of the paraffin wax, and also reduces its hardness. The main factors that affect the stability of paraffin wax are its non-hydrocarbon compounds and the low concentration of hydrocarbons.
Paraffin waxes in a solid state are usually white, translucent, tasteless and odorless. They are hard, relatively brittle and have a slightly dry feel. In a molten state, paraffin waxes are clear, colorless liquids of low viscosity. When melted, these waxes increase in volume by about 5-8%, resulting in a decrease in density. Paraffin will react at high temperatures with either oxidizing or halogenating agents. This reaction produces either fatty acids and hydroxy acids or halogen substitution products respectively. Although paraffin has many useful characteristics, most commercial applications are based on its resistance to water and vapor and its glossy appearance when polished.
