The main purpose

1. Because of its high oil content, crude paraffin wax is mainly used to make matches, fiberboard, and canvas. After adding polyolefin additives to paraffin wax, its melting point increases, adhesion and flexibility increase. It is widely used in moisture-proof and waterproof packaging paper, cardboard, surface coating of certain textiles and candle production.

2. After immersing the paper in paraffin wax, various wax papers with good waterproof performance can be prepared, which can be used in food, medicine and other packaging, metal rust prevention and printing industries; after paraffin wax is added to cotton yarn, the textiles can be soft, smooth and Elastic; Paraffin wax can also be used to make detergents, emulsifiers, dispersants, plasticizers, greases, etc.

3. Fully refined paraffin and semi-refined paraffin have a wide range of uses. They are mainly used as components and packaging materials for foods, oral medicines and some commodities (such as wax paper, crayons, candles, carbon paper), and coating materials for baking containers. Fruit preservation, insulation of electrical components, improvement of rubber aging resistance and flexibility, etc. It can also be used for oxidation to generate synthetic fatty acids.
