Industrial Liquid Paraffin
Liquid paraffin is a stable mixture of saturated cyclic hydrocarbons and short carbon chains with various flash points, including 200°C, 180°C, 160°C, and 140°C. This versatile substance finds numerous applications across diverse industries, some of which are discussed below.
- Liquid paraffin in the textile and woven fabric industry:
This oily compound is widely used in knitting and spinning processes, where it serves as a lubricant for sewing wheels and knitting machines.
- Liquid paraffin as a fuel:
One of the primary uses of this material is as a fuel, akin to kerosene, but with improved properties. The distilled and refined liquid paraffin burns without producing soot or odor, making it a more desirable alternative to unrefined kerosene.
- Liquid paraffin in the filtering industry:
This substance is often a constituent of air filtration compounds, especially those designed to operate underwater.
- Liquid paraffin in other industries:
In addition to the above applications, liquid paraffin finds use in a range of other sectors, including rubber, match, battery, cable, agricultural, insulation, glue, fabric, wax, and polishing industries, as well as those associated with wood and paper packaging, casting, defense, cement, and textiles.
