Waxes are a class of chemical compounds that are plastic (malleable) near ambient temperatures. Characteristically, they melt above 45 °C (113 °F) to give a low viscosity liquid. Waxes are insoluble in water but soluble in organic, non-polar solvents. All waxes are organic compounds, both synthetic and naturally occurring. Although most natural waxes are esters, paraffin waxes are hydrocarbons, Paraffin waxes are mixtures of saturated and iso-alkanes, naphthenes, and alkyl- and naphthene-substituted aromatic compounds.
