Which parameter is used for the grading of paraffin waxes?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
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.
