Paraffin wax
Paraffin waxes are produced from slack wax and are generally
divided into two groups: Light and Heavy
Light Paraffin Wax
Light Solid Paraffin Wax is a refined wax with a low oil content, derived from heavy petroleum fractions during the crude oil refining process.
Due to its white to off-white color, neutral odor and taste, and relatively low melting point, it is one of the most widely used grades of paraffin wax in various industries.
It is especially popular in candle manufacturing, cosmetics and personal care products, food packaging, and paper or cardboard coating.
Its high purity, uniform texture, and excellent moldability make it an ideal choice for manufacturers.
Applications
- Candle manufacturing (decorative and scented candles)
- Cosmetics & personal care products (creams, lip balms, lotions)
- Food packaging (coating for paper and cardboard)
- Rubber & plastic industries (improving mechanical properties)
- Match and crayon production
Heavy Paraffin Wax
Heavy Solid Paraffin Wax is a refined wax with a higher melting point and slightly higher oil content compared to light grades.
It is produced from heavy petroleum fractions during crude oil refining and is characterized by its opaque white to light cream color, odorless nature, and excellent stability.
This grade is widely used in industries where higher melting temperatures and enhanced hardness are required, such as in industrial candles, tire and rubber manufacturing, wood protection, and moisture-resistant coatings.
Its robust structure and consistent quality make it an ideal choice for heavy-duty industrial applications.
Applications
- Industrial candle production
- - Rubber and tire manufacturing
- - Wood preservation and waterproofing
- - Paper and cardboard coating
- - Protective coatings for moisture resistance
