- In industrial applications, it is often useful to modify the crystal properties of the paraffin wax, typically by adding branching to the existing carbon backbone chain. The modification is usually done with additives, such as EVA copolymers, microcrystalline wax, or forms of polyethylene.
- In a histology or pathology laboratory, paraffin wax is used to impregnate tissue prior to sectioning thin samples of tissue.
- Candle-making
- Wax carving
- Bicycle chain lubrication
- Coatings for waxed paper or cloth
-
Food-grade paraffin wax:
- Shiny coating used in candy-making; although edible, it is nondigestible, passing through the body without being broken down
- Coating for many kinds of hard cheese, like Edam cheese
- Sealant for jars, cans, and bottles
- Chewing gum additive
- Investment casting
- Anti-caking agent, moisture repellent, and dustbinding coatings for fertilizers
- Agent for preparation of specimens for histology
- Bullet lubricant – with other ingredients, such as olive oil and beeswax
- Phlegmatizing agent, commonly used to stabilise/desensitize high explosives such as RDX

- Ink. Used as the basis for solid ink different color blocks of wax for thermal printers. The wax is melted and then sprayed on the paper producing images with a shiny surface
- Microwax: food additive, a glazing agent with E number E905
- Forensic investigations: the nitrate test uses paraffin wax to detect nitrates and nitrites on the hand of a shooting suspect
- Antiozonant agents: blends of paraffin and micro waxes are used in rubber compounds to prevent cracking of the rubber; the admixture of wax migrates to the surface of the product and forms a protective layer. The layer can also act as a release agent, helping the product separate from its mould.
- Mechanical thermostats and actuators, as an expansion medium for activating such devices
- Potting guitar pickups, which reduces microphonic feedback caused from the subtle movements of the pole pieces
- Potting of local oscillator coils to prevent microphonic frequency modulation in low end FM radios.

- Manufacture of boiled leather armor and books
- Skateboard wax
- Paraffin microactuator
- Neutron radiation shielding
- Waterproofing agent for waxed cotton garments and commercially important in the early water proofing of ship sails.
- In Occupational and Physical therapies paraffin wax baths are used to warm and loosen connective tissue. They are mainly used in hand therapy.
- Used as the main additive in Log Sealers
- Liquid Paraffin is used in Fire-breathing.
