Paraffin wax is a type of wax that is derived from petroleum. It is a white or colorless solid with a waxy texture and is often used in a variety of applications due to its unique properties. Here are some key facts about paraffin wax:
1. Composition:
Paraffin wax is primarily composed of long-chain hydrocarbons, specifically alkanes. These hydrocarbons are saturated, meaning they contain only single bonds between carbon atoms.
2. Physical Properties:
Paraffin wax has a relatively low melting point, typically between 46°C to 68°C (115°F to 154°F), making it easy to melt and work with. It solidifies at room temperature.
