Paraffin wax, also known as crystalline wax, is a non-polar solvent soluble in gasoline, carbon disulfide, xylene, ether, benzene, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, naphtha and other non-polar solvents, insoluble in water and methanol and other polar solvents. Hydrocarbon mixtures with carbon atoms of about 18 to 30 are mainly divided into straight chain alkanes (about 80% to 95%), and a small number of alkanes with individual branch chains and single-ring cycloalkanes with long side chains (the combined content of both is less than 20%). Paraffin wax is a flake or acicular crystal obtained from the distillation of crude oil by solvent refining, solvent dewaxing or frozen crystallization of wax, press dewaxing, and then deoiling, and supplemented by refining. According to the different degree of processing and refining, it can be divided into three kinds: fully refined paraffin, semi-refined paraffin and crude paraffin.
