Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 Paraffin wax is an important petroleum product widely used in explosive formulation and also as a waterproofing agent for paper shells used for packing explosive and pyrotechnic compositions. IS 4654 covers the requirements for paraffin wax for application in different industries like food, cosmetics, candles, paper, rubber and match industry.
2 This standard was first published in 1974 with a view to facilitate procurement of suitable quality of paraffin wax for the explosive and pyrotechnic industry. The first revision of the standard was published in 1987. In the first revision, the requirement for oil content was modified and a new requirement for inorganic acidity was incorporated.
3 This second revision has been taken up to update the ICS No and several other editorial changes in order to bring out the standard in the latest style and format of the Indian Standards.
