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. Hydrogenated jojoba oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogenated_jojoba_oil

   Hydrogenated jojoba oil is a hard, crystalline wax ester. The melting point is 68-70 °C and the iodine value is < 2.0, making it one of the very few commercially available, high-melting-point wax esters of botanical origin. Hydrogenated jojoba oil is relatively colourless and odourless. Hydrogenated jojoba oil contains no trans isomers.

4. Wax ester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_ester

   Unsaturated wax esters have a lower melting point and are more likely to be liquid at room temperature. Both fatty acids and fatty alcohols may be made of different carbon chain length. In the end, there are many different possible combinations of fatty acids and fatty alcohols and each combination will have a unique set of properties in terms ...

5. Parchment vs. Wax Paper: Do You Know Which One Goes in the Oven?

   www.aol.com/parchment-vs-wax-paper-know...

   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.

6. Jojoba oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jojoba_oil

   The terms "jojoba oil" and "jojoba wax" are often used interchangeably because the wax visually appears to be a mobile oil, but as a wax it is composed almost entirely (~97%) of mono-esters of long-chain fatty acids and alcohols (isopropyl jojobate), accompanied by only a tiny fraction of triglyceride esters. This composition accounts for its ...

7. Wax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax

   The best-known animal wax is beeswax, used in constructing the honeycombs of beehives, but other insects also secrete waxes. A major component of beeswax is myricyl palmitate which is an ester of triacontanol and palmitic acid. Its melting point is 62–65 °C (144–149 °F). Spermaceti occurs in large amounts in the head oil of the sperm whale.

8. Microcrystalline wax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcrystalline_wax

   Typical microcrystalline wax crystal structure is small and thin, making them more flexible than paraffin wax. It is commonly used in cosmetic formulations. [2] Microcrystalline waxes when produced by wax refiners are typically produced to meet a number of ASTM specifications. These include congeal point (ASTM D938), needle penetration (ASTM ...

   The best cheeses for melting are those with "more moisture and lower melting points," according to the folks at Cabot Creamery, a Vermont-based cheese company. And though most cheese will get ...
