Oil is simply fat with unsaturated fatty acid chains, and is found in liquid form at room temperature. Waxes are very much like fats or oil, except that they are malleable in normal conditions, and have only single long-chain fatty acid, attached to a long-chain alcohol group.
Fats are esters of fatty acids with glycerol, and are solid at, room temperature. On the other hand, waxes are esters of fatty acids other than glycerol. They contain one mole of long chain fatty acid esterified with one mole of high molecular weight monohydroxy alcohol. Was this answer helpful?
Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells. Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein.
Essentially, waxes consist of a long-chain fatty acid linked through an ester oxygen to a long-chain alcohol. These molecules are completely water-insoluble and generally solid at biological temperatures.
Oil is less intense and typically comes in pre-filled cartridges. Wax is the more intense of the two and can be either a brittle or semi-solid substance. Both wax and oil are extracted from the marijuana plant but wax is far more potent.
The steam heats the animal material to around 95°C, which extracts the oils, fats and waxes. In dry rendering, the animal material is heated, usually to 115°C–135°C, while being agitated to prevent charring, thus releasing its fats, oils and waxes as it cooks in its own moisture.
All waxes are primarily hydrocarbons, whether the wax is of animal, vegetable, or petroleum origin. The chemical composition of all waxes used for candle-making is similar, and all candle waxes burn in the same manner.
1 : a yellowish sticky substance made by bees and used in building the honeycomb : beeswax. 2 : a material (as paraffin) that resembles the wax made by bees (as by being soft and easily molded when warm) wax. verb. waxed; waxing.
Oil waxing occurs when heating oil begins to gel, and before it has become too viscous to flow at all in the heating system oil piping, wax particles (wax platelets or little spheres of wax or in some articles, alkane "wax crystals") have already begun to form in the fuel.
Major types include fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids.
