The High Heat Capacity of Paraffin Wax

Paraffin wax is capable of absorbing and retaining a big amount of heat.  The high heat capacity of this wax has been discovered to do the process called heat transfer.  Technically, the heat is moved to the core of the disturbed area as paraffin melts. More heat is retained after the paraffin becomes liquid. Whenever the foot or hand is immersed onto it, the paraffin immediately changes into solid surrounding the dipped area.  Heat fusion is the term used when the heat is given off.
