Paraffin
HS Code: 271220
Liquid paraffin is essentially a by-product of petroleum refining and consists of a mixture of different hydrocarbons. It has a thick, viscous consistency, a density lower than water, and is insoluble in water and alcohol, but soluble in chloroform, benzene, and other non-polar solvents.
Liquid paraffin has a wide range of uses. In the medical field, it is commonly used as a laxative and for skin treatments. In industry, it serves as a hydraulic fluid, is employed in textile manufacturing, and is used as a lubricant in various types of machinery. Cosmetically, it is a frequent ingredient in creams, lotions, and ointments due to its moisturizing properties.
