It is then deoiled and separated by vacuum distillation. The excess oil residue in the wax is removed through the process of petroleum refining.

Paraffin wax is the common name for the mixture of solid higher alkanes, the molecular formula is CnH2n+2, where n=20-40. Paraffin wax is often classed as a stable chemical since it is unaffected by most common chemical reagents but burns readily. Paraffin wax is mostly found as a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a typical melting point between about 46 and 68☌ (115 and 154☏) and a density of approximately 900, is insoluble in water, but soluble in ether, benzene, and certain esters.
