What Is Paraffin Wax Used For?
In the science lab, paraffin wax is a clean, predictable material for showing a change of state: students warm a sample in a water bath, note the temperature as it softens and melts, then plot a cooling curve as it solidifies again. The same wax makes simple candles for combustion experiments, and physics teachers use small blobs of it to fix pins or beads to metal rods in heat-conduction demonstrations.
Beyond experiments, the listing notes its use in crafts, candle making, canning, bottling and waterproofing, and around the workshop for lubricating nails, screws, doors and hinges so they move or drive in smoothly. Melt the wax gently over a water bath rather than a naked flame, because overheated wax can ignite, and never leave melting wax unattended. Let spills cool and harden before scraping them off the bench.
What to Specify When Ordering

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the melting point of this Paraffin?
The Paraffin listing (SCL372/086) states that the wax melts at about 143 degrees but does not name the temperature scale. If your experiment or process depends on a precise melting range, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the details.
How much Paraffin is in one pack?
One pack of Paraffin contains 200 g of wax. For candle-making sessions, whole-class melting experiments or workshop use, tell us how many packs you need and we will quote the full quantity.
What can Paraffin wax be used for?
Paraffin (SCL372/086) is used for change-of-state and heat-conduction experiments, candle making, crafts, canning, bottling and waterproofing. It can also lubricate nails, screws, doors and hinges around the home or workshop.
How should Paraffin be melted safely?
Melt Paraffin in a container placed in a water bath or on a controlled hot plate, not directly over a naked flame. Hot wax can catch fire if overheated, so stay with it, keep a lid nearby to smother flames and let spills harden before cleaning.
Who supplies this Paraffin?
This Paraffin is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources the wax and supplies it with laboratory apparatus and consumables to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
