Overview | Paraffin (Paraffin) is derived from petroleum, A mixture of hydrocarbons extracted from certain distillates of shale oil or other bitumen mineral oils, the main component of which is a solid alkane, odorless, tasteless, white or yellowish translucent solid. Paraffin is a mixture of N-chain saturated alkanes of different molecular weights and can be represented by the general formula CnH2n 2. According to the physical state of paraffin, it can be divided into three categories: liquid paraffin, solid paraffin and microcrystalline wax. Paraffin has many advantages, such as low price, wide source, colorless and tasteless, stable physical and chemical properties, large latent heat of phase change and so on. Therefore, it is widely used in medicine, packaging, construction, military camouflage, in recent years, there have been many researches on composite phase change energy storage materials in the fields of industry and agriculture. |
performance metrics | 1. Melting point paraffin wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons, so it does not have a strict melting point as pure compounds. The melting point of paraffin is the temperature at which the melting sample of paraffin is cooled under the specified conditions, and the lag phase occurs for the first time on the cooling curve. A variety of wax products are required to have good temperature resistance of paraffin, that is, at a specific temperature does not melt or soften deformation. Commercial paraffins are required to have a range of different melting points, depending on the conditions of use, the region and season of use, and the environment in which they are used. The main factor affecting the melting point of paraffin is the weight of the selected raw material fraction, and the melting point of paraffin removed from the heavier fraction is higher. In addition, the oil content has a great influence on the melting point of paraffin, the more oil in paraffin, the lower the melting point. 2. Oil content oil content refers to the amount of low melting point hydrocarbons contained in paraffin. High oil content will affect the paraffin color and storage stability, but also make it lower hardness. Therefore, the oil-containing wax extracted from the vacuum fraction needs to be deoiled by sweating or solvent method to reduce its oil content. However, it is desirable for most paraffin wax products to contain a small amount of oil, which is advantageous for improving the gloss and release properties of the product. 3. Stability paraffin products in the shape or coating process, long-term hot melt state, and contact with the air, if the stability is not good, it is easy to Oxidative deterioration, color darkening, and even odor. In addition, when used under light conditions, paraffin also turns yellow. Therefore, paraffin is required to have good thermal stability, oxidation stability and photostability. The main factor affecting the stability of paraffin wax is the trace amount of non-hydrocarbon compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In order to improve the stability of paraffin, it is necessary to deeply refine the paraffin to remove these impurities. |
production process | 1. Dewaxing. That is, the wax is separated from the wax-containing oil. Oil-containing paraffin can be obtained by cold-pressing dewaxing or Solvent dewaxing, and liquid wax can be obtained by dewaxing with molecular sieve or urea. 2. Deoiling. The oily wax is treated by sweating or solvent deoiling, and the oil in the paraffin can be removed. 3. Refinement. The deoiled paraffin was refined with white clay to obtain white paraffin. 4. Molding. The high-melting-point paraffin wax was processed into a block-like commercial product by a molding machine. |
encapsulation method | 1. Direct incorporation method. The Paraffin wax is added directly to the substrate. This method is convenient to control the amount of addition, but it is easy to appear phase separation. 2. Immersion absorption method. Paraffin wax was absorbed with a porous substrate for encapsulation. 3. Container package hair. It is divided into macro packaging and micro packaging. |
Main application | 1. Application in the field of packaging. Paraffin wax can improve the smoothness, toughness and printing quality of packaging materials, and can reduce the production cost. Therefore, it is often used as papermaking sizing agent and waterproof and oil-proof coating. 2. Application in the field of industry and agriculture. Paraffin wax has been widely used in rubber, textile, investment casting, plastic and electronic industries. It can be used as an anti-aging agent, softening agent, toughening agent and release agent for rubber, and can also be used as a gloss finishing agent, a softening agent, a wax dye barrier, a water repellent and a water repellent for textile fabrics. 3. Application in the field of medicine. In the field of medicine is the most widely used liquid paraffin. Liquid paraffin is an oily organic matter with strong cohesion, which is insoluble in water and cannot be saponified. It has good transparency, easy flow, no biological toxicity, and is similar to that of biological glue. 4. Application in the field of architecture. In building materials, phase change paraffin is mainly used in phase change energy storage gypsum board, phase change energy storage concrete, building thermal insulation material, phase change energy storage mortar and phase change heat storage floor and ceiling. 5. Application in the field of military camouflage. The characteristics of paraffin phase change materials have broad application prospects in thermal infrared camouflage and thermal infrared false target. |
toxicity | a large number of long-term use can lead to loss of appetite, reduced absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and the occurrence of digestive system disorders. When not pure, the residual sulfide and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are harmful to health. A small amount of several non-toxic. ADI includes low melting point and medium melting point paraffin, so the amount of reagent is toxic, so the original regulations are canceled (FAO/WHO,2001). It can be used safely in food (FDA, § 172, 2000). |
