[ST] Paraffin [UK]



Someone recently seemed a bit confused about the US equivalent of "paraffin"
[UK] in connection with chain cleaning.

The definition I have (from my A-level Chemistry book) is:

An alkane [saturated paraffin of the generic formula C(n)H(2n+2)] in the
range C(11) to C(16) with boiling point range 200 to 300 deg C.

In commercial terms, the product is a mix and may contain isomers and
impurities.

Hope this helps
