Main Applications
Crude paraffin wax is mainly used in the manufacture of matches, fiberboard, tarpaulins, etc. due to its high oil content. After adding polyolefin additives to paraffin wax, its melting point increases, adhesion and flexibility increase, and it is widely used in moisture-proof, waterproof wrapping paper, cardboard, surface coating of certain textiles and candle production. Paper immersed in paraffin wax can be produced with good waterproof performance of various waxed paper, can be used for food, medicine and other packaging, metal rust and printing industry; paraffin wax added to cotton yarn, can make the textiles soft, smooth and flexible; paraffin wax can also be produced detergents, emulsifiers, dispersing agents, plasticizers, grease and so on.
Fully refined paraffin wax and semi-refined paraffin wax has a wide range of uses, mainly used as food, oral medicines and certain commodities (such as wax paper, crayons, candles, copy paper) components and packaging materials, baking containers, coating materials, used for fruit preservation, insulation of electrical components to improve the aging resistance of rubber and to increase the flexibility and so on. It can also be used to generate synthetic fatty acid by oxidation.
GB 2760-96 regulations allow the use of gum sugar base agent, limited to 50.0g/kg. foreign countries are also used in the production of glutinous rice paper anti-adhesion, the amount of 6g/kg. In addition, it is also widely used in food packaging materials, moisture, anti-adhesion and anti-oil, and so on. Applicable to food chewing gum, bubble gum and drugs such as orthogold oil components and hot carriers, mold release, pressing, polishing and other direct contact with food and drugs with wax (made from oil or shale oil wax fraction by cold pressing and other methods).
