Property of transparent paraffin wax
Paraffin waxes are separated from crude oil during the production of light (distillate) lubricating oils.
These waxes are categorized by oil content and the degree of refinement. The crudest versions
fall into the slack wax category and contain between 5% to 20% oil. Next on the step of refinement
are scale waxes containing between 1% to 5% oil. The highest grade of refinement is the fully refined wax.
Fully refined paraffin waxes contain less then 0.5% oil and have been hydrotreated or clay treated to
remove impurities and color. The resulting waxes are water clear, odor free, and normally food grade.
Application of transparent paraffin wax
1.Candle production like molding, dipping, drawing, extrusion/pressing.
2.Polishes to improve buff ability, to provide solvent binding and solvent retention properties.
3.Rubber and Tires as mould release agents, plasticizers and lubricants in rubber blends.
4.Cosmetics and Pharmacy to act as base component in various formulations.
5.Paper Coating formulations covering packaging of food and non food articls.
6.Hot Melt Adhesives as cost-competitive blend component.
7.Chemical Industry as processing agents, raw materials, components.
Toughness, good plasticity, white color,have good moisture proof and insulation
