PARAFFIN EMULSIONS

Paraffin wax is produced as a byproduct from refining petroleum. Paraffin wax is a low molecular weight, straight chain hydrocarbon with a low melting point(120 °F-160°F or 49°C-71°C). Our paraffins are highly refined with less than 3% oil content. Paraffin is a soft wax with large plate like crystals. Products where FDA status is yes are approved for use in food contact applications under 29CFR176.170 and 176.180.
