Hard paraffin wax (melting point 48-66°C, consistency 60-300) is white/colorless translucent wax serving candle manufacturing, coatings, packaging, and industrial applications where higher melting point versus soft wax prevents premature softening in warm climates or processing conditions. Candle makers select melting point based on candle typecontainer candles use lower melting points (48-54°C), pillar candles need higher (58-64°C) to maintain shape without external support. Coating applications use hard wax for paper/cardboard moisture barriers, cheese coatings, and fruit preservation where film-forming properties and food-safety compliance matter. The consistency measurement (penetrometer reading) indicates hardnesshigher numbers mean softer waxwith buyers specifying ranges matching their processing equipment and final product requirements, as wax too hard cracks during cooling while too soft fails to hold shape in finished products.
