product description

Stable and Reliable Properties:

Paraffin has stable physicochemical characteristics, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of applications.


Colorless, Odorless, and Tasteless: Its neutral appearance and lack of smell or taste make paraffin especially suitable for medical, food-related packaging, and cosmetic uses.


Cost-Effective and Widely Available: Derived from petroleum distillates, paraffin is inexpensive and readily available, supporting large-scale industrial and commercial applications.


Excellent Thermal Performance: With a large latent heat of phase transition, paraffin is effective for thermal storage, insulation, and temperature-regulating applications in construction and industry.


Product Description of ‌Paraffin Wax CAS#8002-74-2

Paraffin is a hydrocarbon blend obtained from specific petroleum distillates, shale oil, or other bituminous mineral oils. It is mainly composed of solid alkanes and is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, typically appearing as a white to light yellow translucent solid. Chemically, paraffin consists of straight-chain saturated alkanes with different molecular weights, following the general formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂. According to its physical form, paraffin is commonly divided into liquid paraffin, solid paraffin, and microcrystalline paraffin. Owing to its low cost, abundant availability, lack of color and odor, stable physical and chemical properties, and high latent heat of phase change, paraffin is widely applied in fields such as medicine, packaging, construction, military camouflage, industry, and agriculture.

Product Application of Paraffin Wax CAS#8002-74-2

Paraffin wax is used in packaging (paper sizing, waterproof/oil-resistant coating), rubber (antioxidant/release agent), textiles (finishing/batik resist), casting, plastics and electronics. Liquid paraffin serves pharmaceutical applications (non-toxic, bioadhesive-like). Paraffin-based PCMs are used for construction thermal energy storage and military infrared camouflage/decoys.
