Paraffin Wax
Paraffin Wax is a mixture of saturated hydrocarbons, primarily consisting of straight-chain alkanes, commonly represented by the general chemical formula CₙH₂ₙ₊₂. It is a white or colourless solid with a waxy texture, commonly used in laboratory applications, sample preparation, material science, chemical research, and various industrial processes.
Product Specifications
Paraffin Wax is a refined petroleum product consisting mainly of saturated straight-chain hydrocarbons, with varying carbon chain lengths. It does not have a single fixed chemical formula or CAS Number because it is a mixture of different hydrocarbon compounds. It is commonly supplied as a white or colourless solid in block, pellet, flake, or granular forms, depending on the product specification.
Paraffin Wax is valued for its chemical stability, moisture-resistant properties, low water solubility, and relatively low melting point. Common laboratory applications include specimen embedding, sample preparation, material preservation, coating applications, and research involving hydrocarbon-based materials. It is also used in histology and pathology laboratories for tissue embedding, as well as in candle manufacturing, packaging, polishing products, and specialised industrial formulations.
Its physical properties, including melting point, hardness, and consistency, make Paraffin Wax useful in laboratory research, material science, and general industrial applications. Different grades and melting point ranges are available, and the appropriate grade should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.
KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.
Safety Note: Paraffin Wax is generally considered to have low toxicity under normal handling conditions. However, molten wax can cause thermal burns upon contact with the skin. Avoid overheating the material, as excessive heating may produce irritating fumes. Keep it away from open flames and other ignition sources, and ensure adequate ventilation when melting or processing. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
