Paraffin wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons with a solid, well-defined crystalline structure. It is obtained mainly from crude oil, but can also be produced from the dry distillation of lignite and oil shales, or by catalytic synthesis from carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
What is paraffin wax used for?
Paraffin wax can be blended with other substances, such as montan wax, to raise its melting point. It is used in the manufacture of candles, matches, leather greases and lubricants, and can also be used as an electrical insulator.
Paraffin wax for wooden wine barrels
In oenology, paraffin wax is used inside wooden barrels to limit contact between the wine and the staves and help protect the contents.
It is also used to reduce the absorption by the wood of wines with faults, helping to limit the possibility of those faults being carried over into subsequent production.
Supplied in 5 kg slabs.
