Paraffin wax is a white or colorless soft solid that's used in a variety of applications due to its chemical stability, large molecular weight, and low reactivity. It's a byproduct of the oil refining process, and its properties can be fine-tuned by controlling the refining process.

Paraffin wax with a melting point of 58-60a is often used in the food industry, particularly in the production of gum base, the non-nutritive, non-digestible, water-insoluble base used to carry sweeteners, flavors, and colors in chewing gum and bubble gum.

Melting Point: Paraffin wax No.58-60a has a melting point in the range of 58 to 60 degrees Celsius. This property makes it ideal for use in the gum base, as it will not melt easily in the mouth during chewing.

Tasteless and Odorless: This type of paraffin wax is both tasteless and odorless. Therefore, it does not interfere with the flavors added to the chewing gum.

Safe for Consumption: Food-grade paraffin wax is deemed safe for consumption, ensuring it doesn't pose any health risks when used in gum bases.

Viscosity: Paraffin wax has a low viscosity which contributes to the smooth texture of the chewing gum.

Insoluble in Water: The wax is insoluble in water, which helps to keep the gum from dissolving while it's being chewed.
