Ngokwenqanaba lokulungisa kunye nokucokiswa, kunokwahlulwa kuba ziintlobo ezintathu: Iparafini ehlaziyiweyo ngokupheleleyo, iparafini yeparafini kunye neparafini.
Iparafini ye-paraffin inomxholo ophezulu we-oyile kwaye isetyenziselwa ukwenza imatshisi, i-fibedboard, njl. Njl. njengephepha le-wax, iikhrayoni, amakhandlela, iphepha lokuziqesha), izixhobo zokuzihlaziya ezisetyenziselwa ukugcinwa kweziqhamo, ukufunyanwa kwezinto zombane, ukuphucula ukuguqulwa kwerabha, ukongeza bhetyebhetye, njl.
I-parafinin wax ngumxube we-hydrocarbons ekhutshiweyo kwi-dispelamu ethile yepetroleum, ioyile ye-shale okanye ezinye ii-oyile zeoyile ezinamafutha. Eyona nto iphambili i-alkanes eqinileyo, i-odol engenakuthelekiswa nengathandekiyo, kunye ne-slight etyheli emhlophe okanye ekhanyayo. I-parafinin wax ayingoma-rystalline, kodwa inesakhiwo esicacileyo sekristali. Kukho iparafini yokufakelwa.
I-Paraffin Wax luhlobo lwemveliso yepetroleum, uhlobo lwe-wax yezimbiwa, kunye nohlobo lwe-petroleum wax. I-clake okanye i-crystal ene-nenaliti efunyenwe ngokucoca i-Solvent, inyibilikisiwe i-Showaiqing, okanye i-crizeling ye-wax, icinezela kunye nokuncitshiswa kwenxalenye yeoyile efunyanwa kwi-oyile yeoyile efunyanwa kwi-oyile yeoyile, kwaye emva koko wenyibilikisi ocociweyo kunye nokucofa unesingci. Isetyenziselwa ukwenza i-acid ephezulu ye-acids, i-alcohols ephezulu, imatshisi, amakhandlela, iiarhente zokugcina amanzi, ii-oyile, izinto zokuthambisa zombane, njl.
