Paraffin, also famous as liquid paraffin, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid that is sometimes using as a fuel. It is contains of different types of simple hydrocarbons, it is less volatile than gasoline and it boils at 302-527 degrees Fahrenheit. Paraffin 3% can be come from coal, wood and oil shale, but it is primarily come from processing of petroleum.
