Paraffin Wax CAS 8002-74-2

What is Paraffin Wax CAS 8002-74-2?

Paraffin Wax CAS 8002-74-2 is a hydrocarbon-based wax obtained from the refining of crude oil, specifically from the slack wax produced during lubricating oil manufacturing. It is composed primarily of straight-chain alkanes, giving it a waxy, solid texture at room temperature. Due to its low cost, moldability, and stability, paraffin wax is utilized in various industries, ranging from cosmetics to packaging. It is available in different grades, with melting points typically between 46°C and 68°C, depending on refinement.

Features

  • Solid at Room Temperature: Soft and pliable, with a low melting point for easy processing.
  • Colorless and Odorless: Pure forms lack color and scent, ideal for aesthetic and sensitive applications.
  • Water-Resistant: Provides a protective barrier against moisture.
  • Thermally Insulating: Retains heat, making it suitable for heat therapy and candle-making.
  • Chemically Stable: Resistant to chemical reactions and degradation over time.
  • Customizable: Can be blended with additives to modify texture, hardness, or melting point.

Applications

  • Candle Making: Primary material for producing candles due to its clean-burning properties.
  • Cosmetics and Skincare: Used in creams, balms, and ointments for its moisturizing and protective qualities.
  • Medical: Employed in paraffin baths for heat therapy to relieve joint pain and muscle stiffness.
  • Packaging: Applied as a coating for paper and cardboard to provide moisture resistance (e.g., waxed paper).
  • Industrial: Used as a lubricant, electrical insulator, or component in polishes and sealants.
  • Food Industry: Coats cheeses and fruits to preserve freshness and prevent moisture loss.
