Hydrocarbon waxes

Description:
Hydrocarbon waxes, identified by the CAS number 8002-74-2, are a complex mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons derived primarily from petroleum or natural sources such as plants. These waxes are typically solid at room temperature and exhibit a high melting point, which can vary depending on their specific composition. They are characterized by their hydrophobic nature, low reactivity, and excellent thermal stability, making them suitable for various applications. Hydrocarbon waxes are commonly used in the production of candles, cosmetics, and food packaging, as well as in industrial applications such as lubricants and coatings. Their structure generally consists of straight-chain or branched alkanes, which contribute to their waxy texture and properties. Additionally, they are non-polar substances, which means they do not mix well with water but can dissolve in organic solvents. The versatility and stability of hydrocarbon waxes make them valuable in both consumer products and industrial processes.
