PETROLEUM WAX (Introduction (General feature :red_flag: (:!: soid at…

- - - - Animal waxes : beeswax, lanolin,tallow
      - Vegetable wax : soy, carnauba, candelila
      - Mineral wax : fossil (ceresin, montan), petroleum (paraffin, microcrystal)
    - - Ethylenic polymer
      - Chlorinated naphthylenes
      - Hydrocarbon type
- - - - Produce from combination pf heavy lube distillate & residual oil
      - Differ from paraffin by having poor define crystalline structure, darker colour & generally higher viscosity & melting point.
      - Range from soft and tacky to hard and brittle depending on the compositional balance
    - - Derive from heavy residual oil & separated by dilution and filtering process.
      - Microcrystalline in nature and semi-solid at room temperature.
      - Slack wax *refer to petroleum wax containing anywhere from 3-5 % oil content.
      - Scale wax refer to wax containing 1-3% oil content.
      - Fully refine paraffin wax is wax that had nearly all oil refine out of it. ( less that 0.5% oil)
    - - Derive from light lubricating oil distillate
      - obtain predominantly straight chain hydrocarbon with average length of 20 to 30
