In general, we distinguish solid paraffins first by the melting point and then by the oil content contained in the paraffin. Each paraffin has a certain melting point, which is given in degrees Celsius. Solid paraffins with an oil content of 3-5% to 1-3% are Semi-refined Paraffin Wax, while paraffins with an oil content of 1% -0.5% (and below) are Fully Paraffin Wax. Rafined Paraffin Wax). The lower the oil content, the higher the quality of the paraffin.

The depth of penetration is an important information when choosing paraffin. Paraffin with a higher penetration value is more flexible and easier to shape, for example, during manual modeling (cutting). In general, paraffins with a lower designation number (less than 20) are of higher quality paraffins, so the lower the number, the harder the paraffin. Paraffins with a penetration mark of 30 and higher are paraffins softer.

Last but not least, abrasion is also important for paraffin waxes. High-quality paraffins are completely odorless, a slight odor can in many cases be removed by remelting (by dissolving the paraffin in a vessel or boiler at about 60ºC).

The color of paraffin is a very important element in the selection of paraffin, and it is generally assumed that the whiter the paraffin, the better its quality. Paraffins marked with the number 30+ are bright white, on the contrary, the lower the number, the darker the paraffin. Paraffins marked with the number 25, for example, have a touch of yellow, so the lower the designation, the darker the paraffin.

It is important to know if paraffin is hydrated or not. Hydrated paraffins have a lower penetration depth and therefore a higher quality. Fully refined paraffins are often hydrated during their refining, where all impurities are mostly removed.

Natural product, high quality, white, odorless. wide use, can also be used as an additive to candles for better burning, non-drip, whitening and overall improvement of paraffin.
