PARAFFIN Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colorless liquid, also known as alkane,this is any of a class of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons having a straight or branched carbon chain and the general formula CnH2n+2, rangingin physical form from methane gases to waxy solids and is found mainly in Pennsylvania and midcontinent petroleum.

Uses

Pharmaceutic aid (stiffening agent).

Uses

paraffin is used in cosmetics as a beeswax substitute. Paraffin is a solid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum, although it can also be obtained from wood or coal. Pure paraffin is harmless to the skin, but the presence of impurities may result in irritation, eczemas, and other skin problems.

General Description

C1-C6 n-Paraffin includes:

  • 100 ppm of each component in nitrogen. It consists of cylinder of 14 L. The multi-component gas mixture is suitable for GC calibration, testing of fixed and personal gas monitors and in situ industrial stack analyzers.
  • A certificate of analysis is provided.
  • Packaged in lightweight, non-refillable, recyclable containers.
  • Portable, convenient, and easy to use.
  • Manufactured gravimetrically for maximum accuracy.
  • NIST traceable.
