Chemical Composition
Heavy paraffin wax consists mainly of saturated hydrocarbons. The presence of 1-3% oil content helps in determining its specific properties and suitability for different applications.
Paraffin Wax Production Process
1. Crude Oil Distillation: Paraffin wax is derived from the fractional distillation of crude oil.
2. Sweating: Removes oil from the wax, which controls the oil content to the desired level.
3. Hydrogenation: Purifies the wax by removing impurities and enhancing color and odor.
4. Solidification: The liquid wax is cooled and solidified into blocks or slabs.
General Properties
– Melting Point: Typically between 58°C and 64°C (136°F – 147°F).
– Density: Around 0.9 g/cm³.
– Oil Content: 1-3%.
– Color: Usually white or slightly off-white.
– Odor: Mild to no odor.
– Hardness: Relatively harder than light paraffin wax due to lower oil content.
– Solubility: Insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents like benzene and ether.
Safety, Handling, and Storage
Safety Data:
-Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed safety and handling information
Storage:
– Temperature: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally between 10°C and 25°C (50°F and 77°F) to prevent melting and deformation.
– Humidity: Keep in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption.
– Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation to avoid any build-up of fumes in case of minor melting or leakage.
Paraffin Wax 1-3% Application
– Candle Making: Provides a stable and long-burning fuel source.
– Coatings and Polishes: Used in polishes for furniture and cars due to its glossy finish and protective properties.
– Cosmetics: Found in products like lip balms and creams for its emollient properties.
– Packaging: Utilized in food packaging to prevent moisture loss.
– Rubber and Tyre Industry: Acts as a protective layer to prevent cracking.
– Textile Industry: Used in fabric treatments to provide a smooth finish.
Paraffin Wax 1-3% Packing
Heavy paraffin wax is typically packaged in various forms to suit different handling and transportation needs. Common packaging types include:
1. Slabs or Blocks
– Weight: Usually packed in slabs or blocks weighing 5 kg, 25 kg, or 30 kg.
– Material: Wrapped in polyethylene bags and then packed in cardboard cartons or wooden crates.
– Protection: The slabs are often lined with a layer of plastic or wax paper to prevent sticking and to provide additional protection against contamination.
2. Pellets or Granules
– Weight: Typically available in 25 kg bags.
– Material: Packed in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bags or woven polypropylene (PP) bags.
