paraffin wax, colourless or white,
somewhat translucent, hard wax
consisting of a mixture of solid straight-chain hydrocarbons
ranging in melting point from
about *8° to *6° C (**0° to **0° F). Paraffin wax is obtained from
petroleum by dewaxing light lubricating oil stocks. It is used in
candles, wax paper, polishes, cosmetics, and electrical insulators.
It assists in extracting perfumes from flowers, forms a base for
medical ointments, and supplies a waterproof coating for wood. In
wood and paper matches, it helps to ignite the matchstick by
supplying an easily vaporized hydrocarbon fuel.
Paraffin wax was first produced commercially in ***7, less
than *0 years after the first petroleum well was drilled. Paraffin
wax precipitates readily from petroleum on chilling. Technical
progress has served only to make the separations and filtration
more efficient and economical. Purification methods consist of
chemical treatment, decolorization by adsorbents, and fractionation
of the separated waxes into grades by distillation,
recrystallization, or both. Crude oils differ widely in wax
content.
Synthetic paraffin wax was introduced commercially after
World War II as one of the
products obtained in the Fischer–Tropsch reaction, which converts
coal gas to hydrocarbons.
Snow-white and harder than petroleum paraffin wax, the synthetic
product has a unique character and high purity that make it a
suitable replacement for certain vegetable waxes and as a modifier
for petroleum waxes and for
some plastics, such as polyethylene. Synthetic paraffin waxes may
be oxidized to yield pale-yellow, hard waxes of high molecular weight that can be saponified
with aqueous solutions of organic or inorganic alkalies, such as
borax, sodium hydroxide,
triethanolamine, and morpholine. These wax dispersions serve as
heavy-duty floor wax, as waterproofing for textiles and paper, as
tanning agents for leather, as metal-drawing lubricants, as rust
preventives, and for masonry and concrete treatment.
