- Wax is a organic molecule which is lipophilic, malleable solid. Their melting point is about 400°C.
- Wax is a very low viscosity liquid. Wax is insoluble in water but soluble in organic non polar solvents such as ether, benzene, toluene etc.
- Plastic is an inert substance which comes in the polymer category. Because inert nature, plastic does not have the tendency to react with water molecules.
- Due to the presence of hydrocarbons in plastic, it is hydrophobic in nature. Thus plastics insoluble in water. For example: polyethylene which is a polymer of ethylene.
