Paraffins (petroleum), specifically those with a carbon chain length greater than C10, are a group of saturated hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. These compounds are characterized by their straight-chain or branched aliphatic structures, which contribute to their relatively high boiling points and low reactivity compared to unsaturated hydrocarbons. They are typically colorless, odorless, and hydrophobic, making them insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of longer carbon chains enhances their viscosity and stability, which is beneficial in various applications, including lubricants, fuels, and as feedstock in petrochemical processes. The CAS number 64771-71-7 specifically identifies a mixture of these higher molecular weight paraffins. Due to their non-polar nature, they exhibit low toxicity and are generally considered safe for use in industrial applications, although proper handling and safety measures should always be observed. Additionally, their environmental impact is relatively low, but they can contribute to pollution if released into ecosystems.
