LubParaffin Wax™
Description
LubParaffin Wax™. This is a colorless or white, somewhat translucent, hard wax consisting of a mixture of solid straight-chain hydrocarbons, ranging in melting points from about 48° to 66° C (120° to 150° F). Paraffin wax is obtained from petroleum by dewaxing light lubricating oil stocks. It is used in candles, wax paper, polishes, cosmetics, and electrical insulators. It assists in extracting perfumes from flowers, forms a base for medical ointments, and supplies a waterproof coating for wood. In wood and paper matches, it helps to ignite the matchstick by supplying an easily vaporized hydrocarbon fuel.
We offer three types of petroleum wax: fully refined, semi-refined, and slack wax.
