Comparative Analysis Of Characteristics Of Honey Beeswax And Petroleum By-Product Wax
ABSTRACT
According to the research so far, the
findings are as follows: The physical composition of beeswax products are of
good quality than that of paraffin wax products. (The melting point of the
beeswax product is very high 62.0 °C compared to that of the paraffin wax which
is 1ow46 °C) which encourages people to substitute the paralTm wax products
with that of the beeswax. The chemical composition of the beeswax samples are
higher than that of the paraffin wax apart from the fact that they share the
same solubility level. The effect of vegetation zone on the beeswax samples
brought about some slight differences in the colour, flash point, specific
gravity etc. the derived savannah and mangrove had the same colour (yellow)
while the rainforest have a yellow-brown colour. The best wax in terms of
standard quality requirement is the beeswax product, having a higher melting
point which makes it last longer than that of paraffin wax, it also have a very
high viscosity than that of the paraffin wax which makes it more thicker. The
beeswax products should be introduced to cosmetic industries as it is used as
skin moisturizer.
