	Wax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wax has traditionally referred to a substance that is secreted by bees (beeswax) and used by them in constructing their honeycombs.
		Chemically, a wax may be an ester of ethylene glycol (ethan-1,2-diol) and two fatty acids, as opposed to a fat which is an ester of glycerin (propan-1,2,3-triol) and three fatty acids.

	Paraffin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paraffin is also a technical name for an alkane in general, but in most cases it refers specifically to a linear, or normal alkane, while branched, or isoalkanes are also called isoparaffins.
		Impure mixtures of mostly paraffin wax are used in wax baths for beauty and therapy purposes.
		Paraffin wax is not used much to make original models for casting, as it is relatively brittle at room temperature and usually cannot be cold-carved without excessive chipping and breaking.

		Beeswax is the oldest and best known wax as it is non-toxic, non-irritant, emulsifiable, and compatible with a wide range of other waxes, alcohols, glycerides and fatty acids.
		The English term 'wax' is derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'weax', which was the name applied to the natural material of the honeycomb of the bee.
		Nowadays the term wax is generally applied to all wax-like solids and liquids found in nature, and to those that occur in waxes, such as the hydrocarbons, acids, alcohols and esters, irrespective of their source or method of preparation.

		Since 1962, physicians, physical therapists, and arthritis specialists have recommended the Therabath Paraffin Therapy Bath because paraffin therapy is one of the most effective methods of applying heat to relieve pain.
		Paraffin wax has a very high "heat capacity," meaning it is able to absorb and retain a great amount of heat.
		The Therabath takes advantage of paraffin's heat-retaining capacity in a simple process called "heat transfer." Very simply, the heat that goes into melting the paraffin is released when it solidifies into a custom-fitted, warm "glove," thus transferring the heat deep into the affected joint or area.

		These unprepossessing pieces of paraffin wax were used by James Chadwick (1891-1974) early in 1932 in experiments which established the existence of neutrons, particles found alongside protons in the nuclei of atoms.
		These pieces were placed in the way of radiation emitted by beryllium, which had been bombarded by alpha particles (helium nuclei).
		From his measurements of the energy of the protons and nitrogen nuclei, Chadwick concluded that they had been hit by particles with the same mass as the proton but which were electrically neutral: in other words, the neutron predicted by Rutherford.

		Mixtures of highly refined paraffin waxes and plastic polymers having a wider spectrum of (straight chain and branched paraffinic) hydrocarbons with a wider range of melting points, may show different shrinking properties on solidifying with consequent cloud patches.
		Bulk paraffin wax producers may, at a cost, and with great difficulty, adapt their operations to obtain narrow distillate cuts for further lube dewaxing, while using the necessary solvent composition, dosage, and temperatures in their dewaxing/deoiling operations.
		The amount of iso/normal paraffin mix is determined by the crude mix as well as some of the processing steps including the vacuum distillation and hydroconversion steps.
