Paraffin Wax Testing

Refined paraffin wax purity and quality control testing.

Paraffinic waxes are used for many industrial and consumer applications. Intertek laboratories test and analyze paraffin wax to determine a wide range of chemical and physical properties. Paraffin was analysis can include purity, contamination, trace components, and more.

Analysis of refined paraffinic waxes:

• Melting Point, ASTM D87 
• Oil Content, ASTM D721
• Color, Saybolt Number ASTM D156
