Paraffin is mainly composed of solid alkane, odorless and tasteless. It is a
white or light yellow translucent solid. Due to its high oil content, it is
mainly used to make matches, fiberboard, canvas, etc. When polyolefin
additives are added to paraffin wax, its melting point increases and its
adhesion and flexibility increase. It is widely used in moisture-proof and
waterproof packaging paper, paperboard, surface coating of some textiles and
candle production.
