The melting point of paraffin

Paraffin wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons, so it does not have a strict melting point like pure compounds. The melting point of paraffin wax refers to the temperature at which the melting paraffin specimen is cooled under specified conditions when the first stagnant period occurs on the cooling curve. All kinds of wax products require good temperature resistance for paraffin wax, that is, they do not melt or soften at a specific temperature. According to the conditions of use, the region and season of use, and the use environment, commercial paraffin wax is required to have a series of different melting points.
The main factors affecting the melting point of paraffin wax are the weight of the selected raw material fraction, and the paraffin wax that is separated from the heavier fraction has a higher melting point. In addition, the oil content also has a great influence on the melting point of paraffin, and the more oil in paraffin, the lower its melting point.
