Ibishashara bya paraffin, bizwi kandi nk'ibishashara bya kristalline, ubusanzwe ni umweru, ibishashara bidafite impumuro nziza, ni ubwoko bw'ibicuruzwa bitunganya peteroli, ni ubwoko bw'ibishashara, kandi ni ubwoko bw'ibishashara bya peteroli.Ni flake cyangwa acicular kristal ikozwe mumavuta yo gusiga amavuta yabonetse mugutunganya amavuta ya peteroli mugutunganya ibishishwa, gutonyanga ibishashara cyangwa gukonjesha ibishashara, kanda dewaxing kugirango ukore ibishashara, hanyuma ubize ibyuya cyangwa ibishishwa byangiza, gutunganya ibumba cyangwa hydrorefine.
Igishashara cyuzuye cya paraffin, kizwi kandi nk'ivu ryiza, ni umweru ukomeye mu bigaragara, hamwe n'ibicuruzwa bitoshye.Ibicuruzwa byayo bifite aho bishonga cyane, bitarimo amavuta make, ntaho bihurira nubushyuhe bwicyumba, nta icyuya, nta byiyumvo byamavuta, bitarinda amazi, bitagira amazi kandi bitanga amashanyarazi meza.
