  • Abstract
    This paper presents a study and an analysis of the low-temperature physical properties of a paraffinic oil refined from Canadian feedstock. The study demonstrates that a significant attribute of this oil is the mechanism of wax formation below the cloud point, This wax formation can explain the higher low temperature viscosity of the oil as compared to that of a naphthenic oil, its non-Newtonian behavior, and a critical temperature zone where the oil gels. Finally , DSC analysis was found successful to analyze this wax formation.
