Which parameter is used for the grading of paraffin waxes?

A. Specific gravity

B. Melting point

C. Viscosity

D. Penetration number

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The grading of paraffin waxes is primarily based on their melting point.

The melting point is a critical parameter because it determines the temperature at which the wax transitions from a solid to a liquid state.

Different applications require paraffin waxes with specific melting points to ensure proper performance.

Therefore, Option B: Melting point is the correct answer.
