Paraffin wax is a soft wax that is mainly formed from paraffin oil .Since it is a soft kind of wax, it can be easily melted. A by product of petroleum is termed as basic paraffin wax. Some other things are also added in it namely palm oil and resins. It is used to make candles, adhesive and other procedures used in industries.

Paraffin wax is mostly found as a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a typical melting point between about 47 degree and 64 degree
. In industrial applications, paraffin wax is often useful to modify the crystal properties of the paraffin wax, typically by adding branching to the existing carbon backbone chain. And paraffin wax also make kinds of candles.

Paraffin wax, classified as a chemical preservative, is widely used on fruits, vegetables, and candy to make them shiny and pretty as well as to retard moisture loss and spoilage. Waxes are made from vegetable oils, palm oil derivatives, and synthetic resins, as well as other materials.

Yes, it is edible. Paraffin wax is often added to chocolates. The addition of paraffin to the chocolate
candy
gives it a nice, glossy finish and helps it remain solid at room temperature. Be aware that paraffin is flammable when overheated, so warm it gently in a double-boiler or microwave only to the point where it is melted.
