Q:

What are the upstream raw materials for paraffin wax? What do the downstream products contain?

A:
Paraffin has an crucial position in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are numerous. The following will introduce the upstream and downstream related items of paraffin wax in detail. Upstream associated items:



1. Crude oil: Paraffin mainly comes from the distillation process of crude oil. First After atmospheric distillation and vacuum distillation of crude oil, different items such as paraffin, asphalt and diesel oil is able to be separated.

2. Natural gaseous: Part of the paraffin is able to also be obtained through the fractionation process of natural gaseous. But Downstream associated items:

Polyethylene(PE): Paraffin wax is able to be applied as one of the raw materials to the production of polyethylene. Polyethylene is a broadly applied plastic material with excellent low temperature resistance, good chemical stability, resistance to most acid and alkali erosion, and good electrical insulation. But

2. For example Polypropylene(PP): Paraffin wax is able to also be applied to create polypropylene. Pretty interesting, huh?. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic resin with high impact resistance, weather resistance, chemical resistance and processing performance.

3. Styrene-butadiene-styrene(SBS) block copolymer: paraffin wax is able to be applied as a raw material to the production of SBS. SBS is a thermoplastic elastomer with excellent tensile strength, tear strength, abrasion resistance and weather resistance.

4. Pretty interesting, huh?. Petroleum coke: Further cracking of paraffin is able to generate petroleum coke. Petroleum coke is a fuel and raw material broadly applied in the aluminum, steel and chemical industries. In my experience,

5. solvent-based products oil: paraffin wax is able to be refined into a variety of solvent-based products oil, such as washing oil, ink oil and so on. In general, paraffin wax plays an crucial role in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are extensive, involving plastics, rubber, fuels, solvents and other fields.
