2. Paraffin wax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraffin_wax

   Paraffin wax (or petroleum wax) is a soft colorless solid derived from petroleum, coal, or oil shale that consists of a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules containing between 20 and 40 carbon atoms. It is solid at room temperature and begins to melt above approximately 37 °C (99 °F), [ 2 ] and its boiling point is above 370 °C (698 °F). [ 2 ]

3. Table of specific heat capacities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat...

   For example, Paraffin has very large molecules and thus a high heat capacity per mole, but as a substance it does not have remarkable heat capacity in terms of volume, mass, or atom-mol (which is just 1.41 R per mole of atoms, or less than half of most solids, in terms of heat capacity per atom).

4. Wax thermostatic element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_thermostatic_element

   The wax used within the thermostat is specially manufactured for the purpose. Unlike a standard paraffin wax, which has a relatively wide range of carbon chain lengths, a wax used in the thermostat application has a very narrow range of carbon molecule chains. The extent of the chains is usually determined by the melting characteristics ...

6. Phase-change material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-change_material

   The copper mesh within paraffin wax can be considered a composite material, dubbed a thermal composite. Such hybrid materials are created to achieve specific overall or bulk properties (an example being the encapsulation of paraffin into distinct silicon dioxide nanospheres for increased surface area-to-volume ratio and, thus, higher heat ...

   Wax paper is also a non-stick coated paper, but rather than silicone, it is coated in (spoiler alert!) wax. It's paraffin wax, to be more specific, which makes it moisture-proof and grease-proof, too.

9. Cloud point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_point

   In crude or heavy oils, cloud point is synonymous with wax appearance temperature (WAT) and wax precipitation temperature (WPT). The cloud point of a nonionic surfactant or glycol solution is the temperature at which the mixture starts to phase-separate, and two phases appear, thus becoming cloudy.
