How is paraffin 58 - 60 made?
The production process of paraffin 58-60 is similar to that of other paraffins, where it is derived from petroleum during the refining process. However, what makes it unique is the careful selection of the heavier fractions and the refined purification process to achieve the desired specifications. The result is a high-quality paraffin wax with a specific melting point between 58 and 60 degrees Celsius. This higher melting point gives paraffin 58-60 a firmer consistency at room temperature, making it ideal for applications where a harder product is required. As a result, the product can be used in specific industries and applications where higher stability and resistance to environmental factors are needed.
The function of paraffin 58 - 60
Paraffin 58-60 distinguishes itself through its higher melting point. With a melting point between 58 and 60 degrees Celsius, it offers a higher melting temperature compared to other paraffins (50-52, 52-54, and 54-56). This results in a firmer consistency at room temperature, making the product more resistant to warmer environments.
This characteristic makes paraffin 58-60 particularly suitable for applications where higher stability and resistance to environmental factors are required. It can be used in the production of advanced technical products such as seals, coatings, and lubricants, where higher temperature resistance and durability are desired.
Paraffin 58 - 60 in various branches
Due to its higher melting point compared to other paraffins, paraffin 58-60 has a firmer consistency at room temperature. This makes it particularly suitable for specific applications in various industries.
In the cosmetics industry, paraffin 58-60 is used in creams, lotions, and ointments due to its soothing and moisturizing properties. The higher melting point ensures long-lasting protection and stability of the product.
In the pharmaceutical industry, paraffin 58-60 is used in the production of medicinal ointments and tablet coatings, where it forms a protective layer on the skin or the medicine, ensuring a gradual release of active ingredients.
Additionally, paraffin 58-60 is also applied in the food industry, especially in food preservation and packaging, where it acts as a barrier against moisture and oxidation.
