All paraffinic minerals having oil as a base stock may contain small amounts of waxy materials, which become visible as the temperature lowers. The temperature at which these crystals can be observed is known as ‘cloud point’. At lower temperatures, these crystals form a three-dimensional network that solidifies the entire fluid. The minimum temperature at which an oil is in its fluid state is known as ‘pour point’.
