Paraffin 200 g
Paraffin 200 g (Product Code: SCI-683/300) is an analytical reagent grade paraffin, a mixture of saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes), used to study alkane properties, combustion and changes of state in school and college laboratories. The listing is a 200 g pack supplied with an MSDS, suitable for class sets of small-scale tests. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside its other chemistry consumables.

What Is Paraffin Used For?
Because alkanes contain only single carbon–carbon bonds, paraffin does not decolourise bromine water or acidified potassium permanganate, so it serves as the control sample when students test unsaturated compounds. Burning a small amount and holding a cold, dry beaker above the flame shows condensed water, while limewater turning milky confirms carbon dioxide, a direct demonstration that hydrocarbons contain carbon and hydrogen.
Solid paraffin wax is used for melting and freezing-curve experiments, for sealing stoppers and joints, for waterproofing and, in biology labs, for embedding tissue before sectioning, while liquid paraffin serves as a heating-bath fluid and lubricant. Paraffin is available in both forms, so state the one you need when you enquire. Keep the stock away from open flames except during controlled experiments.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Form required: solid paraffin wax or liquid paraffin
- Number of 200 g packs per laboratory
- Intended use (combustion tests, embedding, sealing or heating bath) so we can confirm the right material
- Delivery location and any other reagents or glassware to quote together
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Paraffin 200 g to laboratories and does not produce it itself. The company brings consumables like this together with glassware, burners and thermometers so that a practical can be equipped from a single supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Paraffin 200 g?
Paraffin 200 g (SCI-683/300) is analytical reagent grade paraffin, a mixture of saturated hydrocarbons, supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS for teaching and general laboratory work such as alkane property tests, combustion experiments and changes-of-state practicals.
Is this paraffin wax or liquid paraffin?
The Paraffin 200 g listing specifies analytical reagent grade and a 200 g pack but not the physical form. Tell us through the contact page whether you need solid paraffin wax or liquid paraffin, and we will confirm what can be supplied before you order.
Why doesn't paraffin react with bromine water?
Paraffin 200 g consists of alkanes, which contain only single bonds, so there is no double bond for bromine to add across. Bromine water therefore stays orange, making paraffin a useful control when students test alkenes or vegetable oils for unsaturation.
How should Paraffin 200 g be stored?
Store Paraffin 200 g in a closed container in a cool place away from flames, heaters and oxidising agents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Paraffin 200 g?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Paraffin 200 g to schools, colleges, histology and testing laboratories, dealers and importers, shipping each pack with its MSDS and quoting related glassware on request.
What does a quotation for paraffin need?
A quotation for Paraffin 200 g (SCI-683/300) needs the form required, the number of 200 g packs, your delivery location and any other consumables to be quoted together; send the details through the contact page.
