[Histonet] paraffin temperature

[Massimo]

There is a very
simple method to establish the real melting point of your paraffin.
You fill with melted paraffin a glass capillary  and you allow
it to solidify.
Then you dip the
capillary into a porcelain capsule full of water in which the bulb of a
thermometer is plunged.
You slowly heat the
water and you read the temperature at which the paraffin,  contained in the capillary , melts.
Best Regards,

Massimo Tosi

It depends on the paraffin. The melting point is usually on the bag.
