Crude paraffin wax has a relatively high oil content and is mainly used in the manufacture of matches, fiberboards, canvas tarpaulins, etc.After adding polyolefin additives to paraffin wax, its melting point increases, and its adhesion and flexibility are improved. It is widely used in moisture-proof and waterproof packaging paper, cardboard, surface coating of certain textiles, and candle production.1. Industrial Applications:Used in candle manufacturing (adjusting burning rate and hardness), paper/metal packaging (improving water resistance and sealing), rubber industry (softener and release agent), electrical industry (cable insulation, capacitor impregnating agent), chemical raw material (for synthesizing other chemical products), pipeline anti-corrosion, etc.
2. Food Industry:Used as a food additive (in compliance with GB 4485-2010) for fruit/vegetable preservation coatings, confectionery/baked goods release agent, chewing gum base, thickener for oil-based products, etc. It prevents moisture loss and microbial contamination, and improves product stability and texture.
3. Cosmetics Industry:Used in face creams, hand creams, lipsticks and other products as a moisturizer and thickener. It forms a protective film on the skin surface to lock in moisture, and improves product formability and skin feel.
4. Pharmaceutical Industry:Used as an ointment base, enteric coating material, and lubricant for medical devices (e.g., stethoscopes, syringe pistons) to control drug release rate.
