'''Wax''' is a diverse class of [[organic compound]]s that are hydrophobic, malleable solids near ambient temperatures. They include higher [[alkane]]s and [[lipid]]s, typically with melting points above about 40 °C, melting to give low viscosity liquids. Waxes are insoluble in water but soluble in organic, non-polar solvents. Natural waxes of different types are produced by plants and animals and occur in [[petroleum]].
