Paraffin is an undesirable element in lubricating oils.... The paraffin must therefore be removed, by dissolving it... and then filtering it out at a very low temperature(from-35° to-45° [Celsius]). The effect of the cold separates it from the oil by crystallisation. 2, record 1, English, - crystallization

flash point : The temperature at which a flash or flame is first observed when a small lighted flame is passed over a sample of a flammable substance in a cup. The flash point is an important test for fire and safety regulations. So also is the fire point, or temperature at which sustained burning first occurs. These tests are indicative of the lowest-boiling components in the oil and are applied to solvents, distillate fuels, lubricating oils, and many other petroleum products. 4, record 2, English, - fire%20point
