Paraffin wax, also Commonly called 'paraffin', is a colourless or white, tasteless, odourless, translucent waxy solid. Paraffin wax has a typical melting point between about 46°C and 68°C. Pure paraffin wax is a combustible substance and insoluble in water but soluble in petroleum solvents and stable under normal conditions of use. Paraffin has been identified as an excellent electrical insulator. It is also used in the manufacturing of paraffin papers, candles, food packaging materials, varnishes, floor polishes, to extract perfumes from flowers, in lubricants, and cosmetics. It is also used in water-proofing wood, and cork.
Paraffin wax is a mixture of advanced alkanes in the solid state. The molecular formula of the main component is CnH2n+2, where n=17~35. The main groups are straight-chain alkanes, and a small number of alkanes with individual branch chains and single ring cycloalkanes with long side chains; The main straight-chain alkanes are n-doxane (C22H46) and n-doxoctane (C28H58).
Paraffin does not react with common chemicals, but it can burn. Industrial can be catalytic cracking
