What kind of oil is used for oil mops for car cleaning?
1 Answers
Oil mops for car cleaning use industrial liquid paraffin. Paraffin: Paraffin is a hydrocarbon mixture extracted from certain distillates of petroleum, shale oil, or other asphalt mineral oils. Its main component is solid alkanes, which are odorless and tasteless, appearing as white or light yellow semi-transparent solids. Paraffin is non-crystalline but has a distinct crystalline structure. There is also synthetic paraffin. Paraffin classification: Depending on the degree of refining, paraffin can be divided into three types: fully refined paraffin, semi-refined paraffin, and crude paraffin. Each type is further classified by melting point, generally in increments of 2 degrees Celsius, into different grades such as 52, 54, 56, 58, etc. Crude paraffin has a higher oil content and is mainly used in the manufacture of matches, fiberboard, canvas, etc.
