High melting point paraffin wax is generated from crude oil by distilation, then solvent dewaxing and hydrogen refinery. The melting point can reach 72℃. Oil content can be controlled below 1%. For some grades, oil content can be less than 0.5%. Fischer-Tropsch wax is synthesised in the Coal-to-Liquids process. The melting point can reach 115℃. It's harder and suitable for high working temperature.
Paraffin wax has the very natural structure. It has good compatibility with wood and paper fibres. It's the best choice for paper coating and wood waterbarrier. High melting paraffin wax has the prior charracteristics to other waxes in use. King Honor's high melting point paraffin wax is pure, white color and good viscosity. For more information, please feel free to contact us and get relevant paraffin wax documents or videos.
In fact, paraffin waxes with low melting points are manufactured. They just aren't called "paraffin wax". For example, paraffin wax with a melting point close to human body temperature is commonly called "petroleum jelly" or "Vaseline". Different name but essentially the same thing. It's the mixed hydrocarbon chain molecules. The shorter the range of carbon chains is, the lower the melting point is.
Paraffin wax with the melting point below room temperature is called "mineral oil". By mixing (melted) paraffin wax with either of these two substances (petroleum jelly or mineral oil) you would create a paraffin wax with a lower melting point.
