To Americans, paraffin is a base form of solid wax, used in old school jelly and jam canning. I'm thinking from the way you present this that you are from some place where paraffin is the same as diesel, kerosene (simpler diesel oil) or some other fuel oil. If the latter is the case, then I wouldn't recommend the use of those for anything food related. The fuel oil leaches into the plastic of the container and continues to leach out over time, no matter how much soap and water is used. I work in the semiconductor industry and have a lot of experience with leached plastic - once it's "hot", it stays "hot". Their only real use at this point, in my opinion, after use for a fuel oil is as storage media for new fuel oil.
