ホワイト　パラフィンワックス(完全精製)

Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid obtained from petroleum, coal or oil shale. Chemically it consists of a mixture of hydrocarbons chains of length between twenty to forty carbon atoms. It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above at approximately 37 °C (99 °F) The name of this product is derived from Latin parum ("barely") + affinis, meaning "lacking affinity" or "lacking reactivity", referring to paraffin's unreactive nature. Hence, in chemistry, paraffin is used synonymously with alkane, indicating hydrocarbons with the general formula CnH2n+2.

Paraffin wax was first created in the 1850s, and marked a major advancement in candlemaking technology, as it burned more cleanly and reliably than tallow candles, and was cheaper to produce. Paraffin Waxes are sold in various grades differing from one another in melting point and in the distribution of hydrocarbons. Straight chain saturated hydrocarbons are the predominant functionality with small amounts of unsaturated and branched hydrocarbons.

Industrial applications of paraffin wax include: polishes, Cosmetics, Candles, Waterproofing, Sealing, Lubricating; Protection of Plants, Fruits, Cheeses, and Vegetables; Food Packaging, Paper, Crayons, Inks, Coatings, Pharmaceutical Ointments, Salves, Electronic Insulation, and Hot Melt Adhesives. In fine arts it is used sometimes in encaustic painting to prepare a synthetic beeswax mix or to clean brushes, to make modeling wax or in the manufacture crayons or oil pastels.

Paraffin Waxes are non-toxic and non-irritating to the skin and eyes.
