Paraffin wax is a white or colorless, soft, solid substance derived from petroleum, coal, or shale oil, and it consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules. This is due to the increasing number of candle applications, as paraffin is the most commonly used wax in candle manufacturing. Paraffin wax that has been refined is a primary component in the manufacture of candles. Furthermore, the increasing market demand for the product can be attributed to its exceptional water barrier and protective properties, which contribute to its utilization in the food industry for coating paper and cardboard.
Flexible packaging utilizes paraffin wax to establish freshness, moisture, and oil barriers and provide gloss and paraffin blends. Its primary advantages are the product’s ability to provide a barrier against gases and odors (thereby preventing flavor loss or contamination), enhanced process efficiency, and resistance to water and water vapor. Additionally, a petroleum-derived product is exceptionally economical and has low viscosity. At high speeds, the application also necessitates comparatively inexpensive apparatus.
Paraffin wax finds applications in various industrial sectors, including adhesives, rubber, and textiles. The growth of manufacturing and industrial activities in North America contributes to the demand for paraffin wax. North America has stringent quality standards for various products containing paraffin wax. These aspects will boost the market growth in the coming years.
