description Product Description
Paraffin wax, pathological grade, is a specialized reagent used primarily in histology and pathology laboratories for tissue embedding. With a melting point of 56-58°C, it provides an optimal solid matrix for infiltrating and embedding biological specimens, enabling thin sectioning for microscopic analysis. This grade ensures minimal impurities and consistent performance in routine paraffin infiltration and embedding protocols.
Its versatile properties also extend to other applications, such as in cosmetics for moisturizing creams and balms, in food packaging as a protective coating, and in candle-making for clean-burning products. In medical therapy, it is used for heat treatments to relieve pain and improve circulation. Industrially, it serves as a lubricant, mold-release agent, and insulator.
Overall, this high-purity paraffin wax enhances precision in laboratory procedures while offering broad utility across sectors.
