Paraffin Wax In Block Form 58° 60°C – 500 gram Packs

Paraffin Wax 58–60°C is a laboratory material classified as a solid hydrocarbon wax blend specified by melting range. It is supplied in a 500 g pack for chemical, educational and research settings where its specific identity and properties suit the chosen method. The material is designed to soften and melt over a nominal 58–60 °C interval. This makes it relevant to thermal-property comparisons and laboratory wax preparation, subject to the actual formulation and experimental conditions. The listing describes its chemical basis rather than guaranteeing compatibility with every laboratory technique. Users should check the stated chemical form and any composition-dependent properties before designing experiments. In institutional work, appropriate risk assessment, correct waste segregation, trained supervision and the current Safety Data Sheet are important. For products described by a general commercial name or without a hydrate designation, the complete product specification should be confirmed rather than inferred from the name alone.

Why Choose Lab Wale to Buy Paraffin Wax 58–60°C

Lab Wale offers a sourcing option for Paraffin Wax 58–60°C for schools, colleges, universities and scientific laboratories. Clearly identifying the material, its listed grade and 500 g pack helps purchasing teams compare it with their intended experiment. For chemicals available in multiple forms or mixtures, confirm composition and applicable safety documents before ordering. Laboratory users should match reagent selection to the procedure, equipment, supervision and waste-management requirements rather than assume that a general laboratory grade suits every analytical method.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paraffin Wax 58–60°C

What is Paraffin Wax 58–60°C used for in a laboratory?

Paraffin Wax 58–60°C is relevant to thermal-property comparisons and laboratory wax preparation. Practical choices include comparison of melting ranges of petroleum wax grades and teaching phase transitions with controlled thermal equipment. Its use should be limited to methods for which the actual material, required concentration and institutional controls are appropriate.

What chemical formula and composition does Paraffin Wax 58–60°C have?

The listed formula information is: Not applicable; hydrocarbon mixture. The name alone does not define every constituent or hydration state, so composition-dependent data need confirmation.

How is Paraffin Wax 58–60°C identified for purchasing?

The chemical name is Paraffin wax, melting range 58–60 °C. The registry information is 8002-74-2 (generic paraffin wax; confirm product). Buyers should match the supplied label, chemical form, concentration where relevant and supporting documentation against their method before approving a laboratory purchase.

Can Paraffin Wax 58–60°C be used in school and college experiments?

Only when the experiment is appropriate to the material and a responsible instructor has completed a risk assessment. Use controlled thermostatic heating; heated or molten wax can burn skin and must be kept away from ignition sources. More specialised, hazardous or composition-dependent work should be restricted to adequately equipped, supervised facilities.

How should Paraffin Wax 58–60°C be stored and handled?

Store blocks clean and dry at temperatures well below their melting range, away from direct sunlight and oxidisers. Use controlled thermostatic heating; heated or molten wax can burn skin and must be kept away from ignition sources. Review the current SDS for the exact supplied product and follow your institution’s procedures for spills, protective equipment and waste disposal.

Storage Conditions for Paraffin Wax 58–60°C

Store blocks clean and dry at temperatures well below their melting range, away from direct sunlight and oxidisers. Keep the container accurately labelled and verify storage requirements in the supplier SDS for the exact formulation. Separate waste and working stocks from incompatible materials, and limit access to trained laboratory personnel.

Precautions for Handling Paraffin Wax 58–60°C

Read the current product-specific Safety Data Sheet and complete a documented risk assessment before handling. Use controlled thermostatic heating; heated or molten wax can burn skin and must be kept away from ignition sources. Use suitable gloves, eye protection and ventilation as required, minimise exposure, avoid unsafe combinations, and follow local spill-response and hazardous-waste disposal procedures. In instructional laboratories, ensure responsible supervision and appropriate training.
