Wax
Wax (Product Code: SCL-319/058) is a fully refined white paraffin wax used for melting-point, cooling-curve and heat-conduction experiments in school physics laboratories. With a melting point of 60°C and a long-burning character, it is a standard material for school lab heat energy work. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to schools and colleges.

What Is the Paraffin Wax Used For?
The 60°C melting point suits melting-point and cooling-curve experiments: a boiling tube of wax is warmed in a water bath and then left to cool while its temperature is recorded at regular intervals, and the flat part of the curve marks the change of state. In conduction demonstrations, rods coated with wax show how far heat has travelled as the wax melts along them.
The wax is also used to seal joints and corks, coat surfaces and make simple candles for heat and light activities, where its long-burning character helps. Melt it in a water bath rather than over a direct flame, keep molten wax away from open flames, and let spills harden before scraping them off.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies this paraffin wax from Ambala, Haryana. Paraffin wax comes from refineries that operate wax production units, and the company sources it for schools and colleges that need a consistent white wax for heat practicals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the melting point of this Wax?
The Wax (SCL-319/058) is a paraffin wax with a melting point of 60°C. That temperature is reached easily in a water bath, which makes the wax practical for school melting-point, cooling-curve and heat-conduction experiments.
What type of Wax is it?
The Wax supplied under code SCL-319/058 is a fully refined, white paraffin wax. Paraffin wax of this kind is produced at refineries that have wax production units, giving a clean, uniform material for laboratory use.
Is this Wax suitable for school laboratories?
Yes, this Wax is described as standard for school laboratory use. Its 60°C melting point and white, refined character suit student practicals, provided it is melted in a water bath and handled carefully while hot.
How should paraffin Wax be stored?
Store the Wax in a closed container in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and open flames. Keep it free of dust and chemicals so it melts evenly and gives clean results in melting-point experiments.
What pack size is the Wax supplied in?
