Normal Paraffin

Normal Paraffin is a clear liquid that are made up of saturated hydrocarbons with a straight-chain structure. They are either extracted from kerosene or through the “Fischer-Tropsch process” at gas-to-liquid production sites. Paraffin (or called kerosene) is a mixture of hydrocarbons; it usually consists of about 10 different hydrocarbons, each containing from 10 to 16 carbon atoms per molecule; the constituents include n-dodecane, alkyl benzene, and naphthalene and its derivatives. Kerosene is obtained from crude oil by distillation and is used as a fuel for heating and aircraft. N-paraffin C10-C13 is a colourless liquid with a mild odour. It is insoluble in water. It is slow-evaporating, environmentally adapted (fully bio-degradable) with negligible soothing (like lamp oil).

Cosmos Energy aims to be the leading supplier and manufacturer of N paraffin in the coming years .
