Paraffin is a mixture of solid saturated hydrocarbons extracted from crude oil, with a carbon content between 20 and 40, which has a uniform appearance and is free from any foreign object and is solid at room temperature. Melted paraffin should be a clear water-free liquid, foreign particles, and visible impurities. In chemistry, paraffin is usually associated with the word alkane, which has the chemical formula CnH2n + 2. The name of this substance is derived from the Latin word affinis + Parum, which means lack of reaction and refers to the non-reactive nature of paraffin.

Solid paraffin, one of the most widely used chemicals in industry, is obtained from various procedures performed on slack wax. Precise and correct performance of all these steps in the production of high-quality solid paraffin plays a vital role. Solid paraffins, after production and cooling, are in 5 kg molds and after packaging in 30 kg cartons, they are ready to be sent to the customer.

On purchasing paraffin wax, there are many parameters that should be considered. The most important of which are its color, hardness and whether it is dry or oily, all the specifications mentioned in the price of heavy paraffin wax are effective; Compared to 1 to 2% oily paraffin wax, 3 to 5% oily paraffin wax is much cheaper for example. Definitely, other factors also have a great impact on price, such as the type of packaging, the type, and the factory of raw materials, and so on.
